Stephanie Rasmussen
Head-Teacher
Steph graduated from Birmingham University with a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Classics followed by a QTS. She worked in several private schools in the UK both in academic and pastoral leadership positions.
Steph’s love of Classics has impacted our small island; all our children study Latin and we are the only school to do so on the island.
Steph firmly believes in ensuring all students, parents, and staff feel supported and cared for.
Steph has been at CF School since its inception as a home school, and alongside Nic is committed to offering a top-quality education coupled with exceptional standards of pastoral care.
