Leadership Team
Principal – Timothy Wright
Tim joined Hebron In August 2017 as Vice Principal Academics, and has been Principal since July 2020. Prior to joining Hebron, he taught in London for just under 20 years, being involved for many years in teacher training (including with the Prince’s Teaching Institute), as a school governor and a Head of History. He is married to Bianca, alongside whom he was a dorm parent to the Standard 10 and 11 boys between 2017 to 2019, and their two children study at Hebron. He is also an alumnus of Hebron (1986-88), which sparked a life-long love of Indian history, culture and food. He also enjoys various sports, especially football, and can still be seen trundling around with decreasing impact during staff/student football matches. His aim is to ensure that Hebron continues to fulfil the vision of its founders, providing a holistic education on Christian principles for all our students, equipping them to be confident and positive global citizens.
