Rachel Lawrence

Hello! My name is Rachel Lawrence and it is both an honour and a joy to serve as the Deputy Head of Early Years at CIS this year.
This role is especially meaningful to me because I’ve always had a passion for working with younger students and hope to give them the same encouragement and support that shaped my own journey here. I believe there’s something incredibly special about seeing their excitement when they learn something new or overcome a challenge.

These formative years are a pivotal stage where children are not just developing reading or counting skills but also learning how to be kind, confident and curious about the world around them.
My goal this year is to create a warm and safe environment where every child feels valued and motivated to try new things even if it means making mistakes along the way.

I look forward to helping them build friendships, celebrate their achievements and experience moments when they feel truly proud of what they’ve accomplished at school.
