Sandrine Paillasse

Sandrine Paillasse

Sandrine is the Head of St Christopher’s School, Hampstead, an independent school for girls aged 4 to 11.

She has worked in education for over twenty years, in both the maintained and independent sectors in England, as well as in international schools in Kuwait and Tanzania. She has held leadership positions at several senior schools in London, including Queen’s College, South Hampstead High School, and, most recently, deputy head, director of pastoral care, at St Paul’s Girls’ School.

Sandrine has volunteered her time for several charities and organisations, including Samaritans and St John Ambulance. She is currently the safeguarding governor of an academy in North London. Her school experience has led her to further her interest in the role of the parental couple: she is a qualified and practising psychotherapist working with adults, primarily couples.

Sandrine’s second home is Paris, where her husband Antoine, a human rights lawyer, lives.
