It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the sad passing of Elspeth Carnegie, friend and colleague, who gave so many years of dedicated service to the pupils and staff of St Michael’s Preparatory School.

Elspeth was wife to John Carnegie, former founder and Headmaster of the school, mother to Jenny and grandmother to Benjamin and Jonathan.

Those past and present will remember Elspeth for her infectious enthusiasm and positivity. A dedicated staff member of unfailing loyalty to St Michael’s well beyond her retirement.

We offer our condolences at this time of sadness and will always remember her with great fondness.

Mike Rees,

Headmaster – St Michael’s School.
