Senior Leadership Team

Our school is built on a shared commitment to providing the very best education and opportunities for every child. While specific leaders hold responsibility and accountability for areas such as leadership and governance, curriculum, behaviour, achievement, inclusion, safeguarding, and finance and premises, we believe that leadership is demonstrated by everyone across the school community. Every member of staff plays a vital role in contributing to the success of the school, taking ownership of their area of influence and modelling our core values of Confidently Me, Belonging Together, Challenged to Contribute.

Through collective responsibility, collaboration, and high expectations, we work together to ensure that all children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
