Jenny Posner will become the new headteacher of Samarès Primary school in the new year.
She will take over from Mike McDermott, who is retiring at Christmas.
Mrs. Posner has been headteacher at St Martin's Primary school for the last four years.
"I am absolutely delighted to be appointed as headteacher of Samarès Primary School. I am looking forward to getting to know the children and families and working together with the staff team to support all the children.
"I want to express my huge thanks to the children, parents, staff and wider community at St Martin’s for their support over the last 11 years. I have been very proud to be the headteacher of this wonderful school and will miss it enormously."
The government says Mrs. Posner was appointed 'following a rigorous selection process.'
"Mrs. Posner was the unanimous choice of the recruitment panel. I am confident that she will bring the dedication and commitment she has ably demonstrated as headteacher of another high-performing Jersey primary school to ensure that Samarès School continues to go from strength to strength." - Seán O'Regan, Group Director of Education.
