Ann (47) took over the role in February from head teacher Gerry Lyons, who is also on secondment as area manager for Glasgow City Council's education department in west of the city.
Ann lives in Hamilton with her husband Alan and their two children.

How long have you been in teaching?
For 25 years. I started out teaching home economics.

Did you always want to be a teacher?
I come from a teaching family; my dad was in senior management. I actually thought I would rebel against teaching.
But, after I graduated with my home economics degree, I did teacher training. When I went for an interview I was asked to deliver a lesson and it came naturally to me.

What other schools have you worked at?
I began at Holy Cross in Hamilton, then went on to Taylor High in Motherwell. After that I was a home economics development officer for education services in Ayr, Argyll and Bute, and Renfrew.
I didn't want to stay away from teaching too long though and went to St Leonard's in Easterhouse as assistant head teacher. After the school closed I was relocated to Holyrood Secondary.
I was also involved in writing for Glasgow City Council's health pack which is delivered in secondary schools.
Before I came here I was depute head teacher at St Margaret Mary's Secondary in Castlemilk for nine years.

How did the secondment to All Saints happen?
The opportunity came up and I thought it would be great because All Saints has a very good reputation. I will be here for at least one year, with the possibility of staying on for another year after that.

How are you settling in?
Very well. There is a strong, caring ethos and everyone has been very supportive. The pupils talk to you and tell you their story.
It does differ from St Margaret Mary's. There are a lot of international students here at All Saints and I've been very impressed by their abilities and skills.
It is very busy with lots of events and activities taking place.

What do you enjoy about your job?
I enjoy working with people and I feel I can relate to young people.
It's important to put yourself in their position and be a good listener. As a teacher I think it's fantastic when you are in a class and you can see pupils understanding what you are teaching. It is very rewarding.

Is there anything new you want to bring to All Saints?
I want to build on the strengths of the school.
There is a programme called All Saints is for Learning, which is in the first year, and I want to take that forward in a positive way. I want to make a positive contribution while I'm here.

Do you think women are progressing more into management roles in education.
Yes, at All Saints five out of six leaders are female. It used to be primary school head teachers were mainly female and the majority of secondary school head teachers were male.
That trend is beginning to turn and I think that is a positive reflection on society.
It shows that women can manage a career and a family, which is a good role model for young girls.

Is there anything you don't like about the job?
I would say the only thing is managing e-mails. I try and spend at least 40 minutes each day keeping on top of them.
But I like to think I'm quite an optimistic person and I see the positive side of things.

What interests do you have away from work?
I like interior design and spending time with my family and friends.
