  • Talking with the Founder Mrs Andrea Greystroke
    Jul 14 2023

    #05 - Welcome to ‘Discover Abercorn’, the podcast where we talk to staff, parents and pupils to find out more about life at the school.

    Now, you’re going to love this episode because today we’re with Mrs Andrea Greystoke, founder of Abercorn School. This means I get to ask her when she started the school, sure, but why she started the school and having done that why she’s so still so involved in the school today all this time later.

    But I also ask her about the school in New York, what it’s like working with family (because her daughter works in that school) and we talk about what Andrea does when she’s not in school.

    It’s a lovely episode and a great way to know more about the founder. So come with me as I speak to Andrea Greystoke.
