Meet the team

These are the people your child will spend their days with. With one class in each year, they get to know every family well.

Principal and Designated Liaison Person (DLP)

Ms Kathy Lundy

Kathy has been part of St Brendan's for 24 years, eight of them as Deputy Principal and became Principal in 2026. She knows the school, the village and most of its families inside out. Her focus is a happy, safe school where every child is known, one that welcomes new families as warmly as it looks after the ones already here. Kathy is also the school's Designated Liaison Person (DLP) for child safeguarding.

What I love about St Brendan’sEvery child here is known by every adult in the building.
