The Wells Cathedral Chorister Trust is delighted to announce the appointment of Dorothy Nancekievill as a new Trustee, strengthening the Board with her extensive experience and ties to Wells Cathedral School.

Dorothy has served as a Governor of Wells Cathedral since 2022 and now takes on the role of School-nominated Governor Trustee for the Chorister Trust. With a career spanning forty years in education across both State and Independent Schools, she brings a wealth of expertise and leadership to the Trust.

Her distinguished career includes serving as Head of Farringtons School from 2015 to 2020, following her earlier role as Director of Music at Wells Cathedral School.
