Clare Brown
Principal
Clare Brown is our Principal at EKC Folkestone College. Clare worked in banking for several years before retraining and working as an English teacher in Adult Education. She joined the Further Education sector in 2013, initially working as an Advanced Learning Practitioner and lecturer in Teacher Education.
She has worked in several FE colleges in leadership and management roles and prior to moving to Folkestone as Principal, was an Assistant Principal in a South London college.
Clare is driven by the passion to motivate young people and adults who are returning to education to seize opportunities and to succeed in an aspirational, engaging and supportive learning environment.
In her spare time, Clare enjoys running and cycling, and is an avid follower of UK athletics. When not doing something active, she relishes the time she spends with her family and friends.
