Biography Caroline St. John-Brooks was born on 24 March 1947 in Oxford. The daughter of an army major and restaurant owner, she was educated privately at the Royal School in Bath, and at Thornbury grammar in Gloucestershire.

She returned to the Times Educational Supplement as Editor in 1997 and remained until 2000, when ill health forced her to resign. In three-and-a-half years she had modernised and expanded the paper, with new magazine sections appealing to the women who now predominated in education.

She died of breast cancer at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London in September 2003, aged 56.
