“It is only when you look back, that you realise how the changes which we have made are adding up to a real transformation in the school.”
- StaffMy son has a brilliant rapport with all the teachers at the school. This has definitely contributed to him achieving above his target grades.”
- ParentMy day starts at 7am, there are various parts to the role that require setting up each morning as each day is different. Staff arrive at 8am and we brief for the day. Over my time I have learnt that each day can bring unexpected workload, the culture is friendly and supportive; we all aim for the same outcomes. The hardest part is the unexpected workload if an incident has occurred, this can be emotive and as a manager I must ensure my staff are supported.
