THE YEHUDI MENUHIN SCHOOL ANNOUNCES DR ROBIN HARSKIN AS NEW HEAD

 

The Board of Governors of The Yehudi Menuhin School in Cobham, Surrey, has appointed
Dr Robin Harskin as its new Head, following an extensive and competitive selection
process. Dr Harskin will take up the post immediately.


Dr Harskin initially joined the specialist music school, founded by celebrated violinist
Yehudi Menuhin, in September 2019 as Head of Modern Languages, then as
Housemaster and Head of Boarding, before becoming Interim Head in December 2023.
He brings a wealth of experience, with a teaching career that includes posts at Sevenoaks
School in Kent, King’s College School in Wimbledon, Magdalen College School in Oxford,
where he was Head of Modern Languages, and two prep schools in Oxford – Summer
Fields and Christ Church Cathedral School – where he was Academic Deputy / Director
of Studies. He holds an MA in Modern Languages and an MPhil in Politics from the
University of Oxford, and a PhD in French Poetry from University College London.


David Buckley, Chairman of Governors, said: “Throughout his time at the school, Robin
has demonstrated a deep commitment to the school’s ethos and values. His dedication
to creating a nurturing environment for the pupils has been evident, and his vision for the
school aligns seamlessly with the school’s aspiration for musical and academic
excellence.”


Dr Harskin commented: “I am delighted and humbled to accept the role of Head of The
Yehudi Menuhin School. It is an exciting time for the school, particularly as we expand
our entry point to years 5 and 6 from this September. My focus has always been, and
continues to be, on empowering each pupil to reach their full potential, and I look forward
to playing a part in developing the next generation of 21st century musicians.”
