Dear Professor Hoggart, Re: Selection of new head Thank you for your letter dated 16 September informing us of Miss Pattenden’s retirement at the end of the school year. As parents and stakeholders in the school, we are anxious to be involved in the selection process of a new head. We have chosen Francis Holland School for our daughters because we believe it is the best school for them and the new head is of paramount importance to the continued success of the school. Francis Holland parents like the traditional nature of the school but also appreciate rigorous academic standards in order to succeed in an increasingly competitive world. We are open to any suggestions you may have on how we may be involved. We thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you. Yours Sincerely,
