Business Breakfast: New Head of Early Years at Harrogate Ladies' College
This Monday we report on a new head for the youngest pupils at Harrogate Ladies' College and how a Ripon auction house is to have its first art sale.
Business Breakfast is sponsored by Harrogate law firm Truth Legal.
Harrogate Ladies’ College has appointed a new Head of Early Years at Highfield Pre-School, the school’s associated nursery setting.
Kathryn Wilson, who is originally from Ripon, is returning to her Yorkshire roots after teaching in Long Eaton, Derbyshire where she was an Assistant Head.
Mr Wilson, who has young children of her own, and was previously Deputy Head at new Park Primary School in Harrogate, said:
“I am very much looking forward to coming home to my roots and I know what an amazing place Highfield Pre-School is. The ethos of the whole school and its close and caring community attracted me back.
The facilities are outstanding, particularly the outdoor space which the children clearly love. I am looking forward to getting to know the children and their parents and building on the school’s already excellent Early Years provision.”
Sylvia Brett, Principal of Harrogate Ladies’ College, said Kathryn would be an enormous asset to the Pre-School department.
“The first few years of a child’s educational journey are so important and Kathryn has superb credentials and a vast amount of experience in Early Years provision. We are all looking forward to welcoming her into our school community,”

Ripon auction house inaugural art sale
Elstob & Elstob in Ripon is to have its first pictures and sculpture auction featuring some of the region’s greatest artists.
The sale, on August 10, has been put together by the auction house’s newly appointed Paintings and Sculpture Specialist Rohan McCulloch.
It includes Leeds-born artist George Wright, the popular Staithes Group of artists and County Durham miner Tom McGuinness together with paintings of iconic Northern landmarks.
Mr McCulloch said:
“Until now, paintings and sculptures have been included in our Fine Art and Antiques sales but such has been the growing extent and quality of consignments that we have decided to introduce a dedicated auction that will give them their own platform.
"I am particularly pleased with this first collection, which has a broad offering of paintings, drawings and sculpture from the last 600 years of British and European Art.
There is something to suit all tastes and pockets with attractive pieces valued under a hundred pounds to the work of prestigious artists with price estimates of several thousand.”
