Leadership Team
"Meet our leadership team, they are always happy to answer any queries. It certainly speaks volumes that not only are some of our teachers former students, but many of our staff dedicate their entire professional careers to St. Winifred’s School."
Mrs. Kim Lewis
Our Principal
“I want every child to recognize that there exists within him or her the potential to achieve great things; we do not all excel in the same areas or at the same time. Together with the staff, I want to nurture at SWS a positive school spirit and promote a community where there is kindness and compassion and respect. This School has been a very large part of my personal and professional life. It is a school steeped in tradition and family values, which seeks to promote the potentiality of each student and to encourage its students to always give of their best.” Kim Lewis
Mrs. Lewis began her career at St. Winifred’s School as a teacher in the Prep Department, and then moved up to teach J2, J3 and J4 in the Junior Department. She was the Junior Department Head for six years before being appointed Principal in 2016. Mrs. Lewis has been actively involved in assisting with many of the school‘s Pantomime productions over the years and has continued to teach Math in the Form 1 level.
