She will be replaced by Martin Murphy, director of community development at the Richard Rose Foundation in Cumbria, which operates two academies in Carlisle.
In a letter to parents, chairman of governors Celia O'Donovan said Mrs Green is leaving to lead a school in the home counties.
She said: “It is easy to take for granted all that has been achieved during Mrs Green’s period as headteacher.
“Every aspect of giving students the best possible life chances for the future and opportunities for personal development has progressed markedly.”
“In academic performance the school has improved on its own examination performance records year after year; the vast range of sporting and extra-curriculum activities continues to expand; music and drama move on from strength to strength.
“The science block, newer facilities such as the teaching block and the all-weather sports area have all been fully integrated into the life and work of the school but perhaps the most significant event in the history of the school occurred when Arden received the approval to move to 11-19 status with a full Sixth Form.”
She hailed her involvement in the school's transition to academy status, which gives it more independence from Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council.

Science block, new classrooms, all-weather pitch. new sports hall and music and drama block all came about during Mr Chamberlin's headship.
ReplyDeleteDon't think Mrs Green will be missed by staff.
Good, she was disliked by most if not all pupils, parents and staff anyway. An extremely ignorant and rude woman with no ability to communicate with people on a base level.
ReplyDeleteIs her reason for leaving anything to do with the fact she had an extra-marital affair with a council education officer with responsibility for the borough's academy programme - as reported in the Daily Mirror?
ReplyDeleteA very good decision for Arden, Education in Solihull and like most of the comments above will not be missed - a vindictive, unpleasant and driven career animal...
ReplyDeleteShe cause more trouble and unhappiness to all the people living around the school than anything else has ever done.
ReplyDeleteI think that all the local residents to Arden School school should have a street party.
She is a very vinductive lying person.
She will not me missed!!
The pupils' nickname for her was very apt - GANGREEN!!
ReplyDeleteThe trouble at Arden is that the governors believed what That Woman told them.
ReplyDeleteEndless parents discovered that doing the best for them was taking exams early to fit in more points scores rather than the best grades, pupils excluded from the courses they wanted to take because the school didn't want to risk them getting the best grades (remember this is a comprehensive, not a grammar school). The lack of comprehension of That Woman is shown by the web site that is so proud of providing a hairdressing course as a 6th form option.
While Ann Green moans about the lack of classrooms (and fails to comprehend what the meaning of the word 'temporary' is), they have taken no action to plan for this. They built a vocational sixth form building knowing that the parents and children needed an academic sixth form. While a clever political move to tick a box, they had and still have no plan as to how to change it into more appropriate accommodation.
Here is a thought, how does someone have a secret affair for three years while busily running two schools? Surely she would be far too busy. She was not at Arden for a long time - they needed an acting head, but was she ways at Park Hall?
ReplyDeleteI think that the school needs NEW GOVERNORS as they failed to spot what a dreadful Head Mrs. Green was, that after all is their job. So my suggestion is get NEW GOVERNORS.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that there's no mention in the Solihull press of where Ann Green, the head of Arden is going exactly. And it's also interesting that, at the new school (Waingels College in Wokingham), the press reports are all about Ann Keene-Maher being the new head teacher with no detail about where she came from (a successful school "near Birmingham"). But both school websites (Arden and Waingels) have photos of the same person.
ReplyDeleteIt would be easy to think someone was trying to cover something up if one believed in conspiracy theories. Like a widely-reported affair with a senior Council officer, perhaps?
It is amazing how well her career has prospered and continues to do so. There must be some advantages in sleeping with the boss.
ReplyDeleteTry speaking to the staff at Waingels!!!!
ReplyDelete^^ try speaking to the students at Waingels!!!!
ReplyDelete^^ try speaking to the parents at waingels!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a pick up and drop off point...but now in her wisdom she is LOCKING the school gates!! now she will cause CHAOS in all the surrounding roads....have you tried picking your child up from the park!!!!!and it is more dangerous for the children.
ReplyDeleteI have just bought a house locally and one of the reasons is that I was led to believe that Arden was a great school. Reading these comments I hope I have not made a mistake.
ReplyDeleteI'm a student at Waingels and this woman is useless.
ReplyDeleteShe locks one gate out of 3 to stop us walking out during school time.
She wouldn't let us have our exam results because she wanted to look at them.
She constantly complains about how the uniform is unacceptable and how we don't look presentable, yet she wears the same clothes constantly and never washes her hair.
She has done nothing good for Waingels so far. She's just claiming credit for what the previous head teacher helped build.
None of the students like her, and although they can't say it, none of the staff do either.
Waingels was an alright school until she turned up, she just angers everyone.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME ! ! !
ReplyDeleteSHE RAISED THE PRICE OF THE CHICKEN IN THE CANTINE WHY DID YOU DO THAT MRS GREEN WHY??????
