Sixth Form Staff
Mr Iain Regan-Smith
Iain joined Burgess Hill Girls as Head of Sixth Form in 2022. Iain started his career at the Judd School, where he was previously a pupil, and had the unique experience of teaching his own younger brother for A level. After Judd he was Head of RE and Philosophy at Merchant Taylors’ School for seven years.
Iain says his teaching career all started with one of his favourite teachers recommending he read ‘Confessions of a Philosopher’. After a gap year working in a school in Australia he subsequently went on to study Philosophy at university then trained as a teacher. Iain doesn’t like cricket, he loves it!
