The Principal of Sandown Bay Academy, who hasn’t been at the school for several weeks, has been working at the Isle of Sheppey Academy in Kent for the last two weeks.

Thanks to a telephone tip off, OnTheWight has learned that the head teacher is working under the title of Associate Principal at the Kent school.

When we asked AET yesterday, they told OnTheWight yesterday that she had been “on an extended leave of absence”.

We expect to have more news at 4pm today.

16 months in Sandown post
The head teacher previously worked on the Isle of Wight as Principal at Carisbrooke College. She left Carisbrooke in March 2012, citing her wishes to “be closer to family and work in a city environment.”

Just four months later, the head teacher joined Sandown Bay Academy as interim Principal (July 2012) and was then appointed as permanent Principal in March 2013.
