Dear Parents,

Following the announcement that Principal Jayne Needham will be leaving Beijing at the end of this academic year, I am pleased to announce that Mr. Bevan Graham, current Vice Principal of The British School of Beijing, Shunyi has been appointed as the new Principal. He will officially take on this role in August 2025.

With his commitment to high standards, Mr. Graham sets ambitious expectations for both students and staff, inspiring excellence at every level. His passion for education and his ability to build strong relationships ensure that every member of the school community is supported to achieve their best.

Mr. Graham joined our Nord Anglia school in Shanghai in January 2007 and moved to Shunyi in August 2021.  Since then, he has worked with colleagues at the school to implement improvements, particularly in the secondary school. Under his leadership, the school has introduced several initiatives that have greatly benefited students and families in the city. The recent parent survey highlighted a notable increase in overall satisfaction, reflecting Bevan's dedication to fostering a positive and thriving school environment.

Over the coming months, Mrs. Needham and Mr. Graham will work closely together to ensure a seamless leadership transition, maintaining the momentum of the school’s continued success.

Please join me in congratulating Mr. Graham on this well-deserved promotion. We are confident he will continue to lead the school with distinction and dedication for the benefit of the entire community.
