New Headteacher Joins Edward Bryant School

We are delighted to have appointed a new headteacher at Edward Bryant School in Bognor Regis. Mrs Rebecca Misselbrook took up her post at the school at the start of the summer term in April 2025 and will work alongside us to lead the school’s 81 staff and over 600 pupils. Edward Bryant was the first school to join our multi-academy trust when it was formed in 2012.

Mrs Misselbrook was previously Head of School at White Meadows Primary Academy in Littlehampton, which she joined in 2014 as Assistant Headteacher. She had been Head of School there since 2019. Over her career Mrs Misselbrook has specialised in Primary Maths as well as leading on specific support programmes to help children who’ve struggled with behaviour, emotional issues and trauma.

We’re excited to welcome Rebecca to both Edward Bryant School, and our multi-academy trust. Rebecca’s energy, enthusiasm and determination were evident during the interview process, and her commitment towards ensuring that every child can succeed was very powerful. We’re certain that the community at Edward Bryant will benefit from her drive and leadership and look forward to working with her over the rest of the school year and beyond.

Talking about her new role Rebecca Misselbrook, Headteacher at Edward Bryant School shared: “I’m really excited to be joining the EBS team, particularly after growing up and living in Bognor Regis. The school community here has been so welcoming, and I’m looking forward to working closely with our children and families, and the school’s fantastic staff team. Being part of the Schoolsworks network really appealed to me too – the team truly knows and understands the locality of each school, and it’s great to know I have a strong group of Heads and an excellent Shared Services resource to support me.
