WINTER 2021
meet
austin
It’s with a cheerful heart
that I greet you as the new
Leadership Programme
Director.
I am really excited to join Eastside and
I am looking forward to being able to
bring my expertise to the academy.
I have an extensive background
in education, having taught at secondary
schools, further and higher
education institutions across London
and run a tuition business. My main
subject focus is English.
My family originate from Kenya and
I’m a father of four. I love sport, especially
football and I’m an eager reader
with a love of literature.
I am keen to see young people aim
high and achieve their potential. No
doubt my background, passion and
experiences will help me to propel our
young leaders forward in numerous
ways.
I’d like to thank the staff team for
helping me settle into my new role
along with all the parents and young
leaders who have warmly welcomed
me to Eastside.
Thank you all for your support and
together let’s finish 2021 strong and
get ready to have an excellent new
year.
Austin Gacheru
