Jenny Lees-Spalding
Jenny has long been interested in education and, particularly, the individual students and consumers of the system. Coming from a naval family, she attended a state primary school in Scotland, the Naval School in Malta and boarding schools in England. Oxford University was a liberation.
Jenny was academic registrar at what is now London Metropolitan University, working with students on first degree courses. She has since been involved with undergraduate programmes based at City University and the Open University. She is a governor of an HMC school.
She lives in London and both her children were educated at an independent secondary school.
As well as the Guide to Independent Schools, her joint titles with Klaus include The Student Book, the leading guide for sixth formers planning to go on to university. All their books share a common philosophy: readers are intelligent people who make their own choices; reference works are a good starting point for preliminary investigations and developing a strategy but are no substitute for primary sources.
