New director of education for Slough council
Slough Borough Council would like to announce the appointment of a new director for education and children’s services.
Clair Pyper will be taking over the role in March 2008 from Essex County Council as deputy director in the schools, children and families directorate.
Clair has a very extensive history of working with children and in education. Her first job in 1976 was as a trainee social worker at Norfolk County Council and her roles have continued to grow since then, covering a broad range of children’s services including social work, early years and childcare, and special educational needs.
Originally from Ipswich, Clair said of her new role: “I am really excited about the prospect of working for Slough Borough Council.
“There will be challenges along the way, as there always is in a new job, but I will relish them all.
“It is important to me to make the best of our services for the residents and I will continue to carry on the great work the council has already provided.”
Commissioner for education, Cllr David Munkley, added: “Congratulations are in order for Clair and we are extremely happy for her to have chosen Slough.
“I’m sure she will be a great asset to the council and residents alike and I wish her all the best in her new role.”
