La scuola prosperato e, come l'onorevole Priore cresceva, four of her daughters took over its organisation. The youngest, Florence (conosciuta come Miss Flo), retired in 1932. The school was fortunate enough to pass into the capable hands of Miss Nicholson (conosciuta come Miss Nick), who was its head until she died more than 30 anni dopo.
For some years the school was run by Mrs Eleanor Elgood, followed by Mrs Jean Vernon. Then, in 1982, Mrs Averil Collins divenne il capo, un posto che mantenne per 24 years.

Sarah Mackintosh has been a Head Teacher in both Secondary and Primary Schools in Surrey for twenty years and Claire Blunt, who is in charge of the financial aspects of Roxeth Mead, is a successful CEO International.
