I was appointed as the head teacher in 2013 and my mission has been to create a happy, supportive and respectful school community where every child is valued as an individual and every family feels welcome. I previously taught children aged 4-8 in schools in London, Birmingham, Singapore and Osaka, Japan I am very fortunate to be supported by a very capable and committed Governing Body. |
