We are delighted to be able to inform you that we have appointed a new Principal, Mr Andrew McGarva, to steer our school through its next stage of continuing success.

Andrew is currently at Morrison’s Academy in Scotland, where he has been Rector since August 2021. On the performing arts side, as well as having been Director of Music at three schools, Andrew has been a professional violinist, conductor, and performer, collaborating with leading musicians in the UK and internationally, which has given him the understanding that exceptional performance is achieved through teamwork, personal discipline, and shared purpose.

My fellow Governors and I are excited by the prospect of Andrew joining us at Tring, and confident that he will be a strong and empathetic leader who will help drive the School forward, working with, and inspiring, our excellent academic, vocational, and support staff teams, as together they educate, support, and nurture all of our pupils to reach their full potential.

In accepting the role as Principal, Andrew has said:

“I am delighted to be joining Tring Park School for the Performing Arts, a school with an exceptional national and international reputation. Tring Park’s commitment to a truly integrated academic and vocational education brings together everything I value about education. It is a privilege to take on the role of Principal, and I very much look forward to working with students, staff, families and Governors to build on the school’s remarkable strengths and to lead the next chapter of its story”.

Mark Hewitt, Chair of Governors
