This is a rare and exciting opportunity to join our thriving, inclusive school as an Assistant Headteacher.
This isn’t a role about titles or ticking boxes. It’s about impact.

I'm off to Spain tomorrow and I've got my holiday reading sorted.

We took delivery of a 2nd pod this morning. I am very pleased with how it looks and can't wait to start using it.
