Plymouth College has appointed Jonathan Cohen as the next headmaster of Plymouth College.
Jonathan has a keen interest in sport, particularly rugby, football, hockey and cricket, having played and coached extensively. His other interests include politics and international affairs, the performing arts and, of course, education. Prior to entering teaching he enjoyed a successful career in investment banking. He holds a Masters degree in Educational Leadership and is soon to complete his Doctorate in Education.
He takes up his post in April 2019, succeeding Jonathan Standen who becomes Headmaster of Harrow International School Bangkok. David Woodgate, Chairman of Governors, said: “Jonathan’s values resonate strongly with those of the college and he will lead the school with vigour and vision in the next phase of our development.”
Of his appointment Jonathan said: “I am honoured and delighted to have been appointed as the next Headmaster of Plymouth College, a prestigious, progressive school I have admired for so long. I look forward to building on the outstanding leadership of Jonathan Standen and working with the whole community at the College at what is such an exciting stage of its development. From my first visit, I have been deeply impressed by both the warmth of everyone I have met as well as their absolute commitment to enabling every pupil to fulfil their academic potential whilst developing into happy and successful adults. My wife and I are very much looking forward to joining the Plymouth College family and getting to know all the staff, pupils and parents in the months and years ahead.”
