Annabel Cody

First Elected/ Appointed: 2014

Profession: Journalist

About: I joined Council in 2014 and served as Chair from 2017 to 2023. I sit on the Finance, Governance, Community and KASS committees. My professional background is journalism. I have been both a staff and freelance writer for national newspapers for over 20 years.

King Alfred offers a unique educational experience. Joining Council has allowed me to expand my understanding of the School and play an active role in its current and future development. I am deeply committed to the School’s founding principles: to be a model of education, to challenge accepted boundaries and to educate young people to be independent, engaged and rounded human beings. Those principles are as important today as they were when the School was first established.

I have had three children at KAS.
