Congrats Sir Simon

Warm congratulations to Sir Simon Hughes from all at St James and St Anne's on his appointment, announced today, as head of public affairs at the Open University.

Steve Hill of the OU is reported on the SE1 Website as saying: "Simon brings with him a wealth of relevant experience and insight, as well as sharing our commitment to social mobility and opening up access to education."

Here in Bermondsey we are delighted that Simon continues in his role as Chair of Governors at St James's School, another aspect of his long term commitment to education.
