Prior to joining Roedean, Mrs King was the Headmistress of Heathfield School, a full boarding school, and was the Deputy Headmistress at St Mary’s, a day and boarding school, both in Ascot, Berkshire. Mrs King has an MA in Theology (St Hilda’s, Oxford), an MA in Philosophy and Ethics (University of London) and an MBA in Global Educational Leadership (University of Hull).

Following her new appointment, Mrs King said: “I am delighted to be joining Collège Alpin Beau Soleil. The school has a rich history and association with the de Meyer family; I am honoured to be entrusted with the community and look forward to leading it into the future.
Beau Soleil has a fine reputation for its "education outside the classroom" programme, through which young people gain exceptional leadership and personal skills; the combination of this, their academic studies and the values based community life in which they live helps to equip them for life in the 21st century.”
