“I would like to offer a very warm welcome to Westdale Junior School. Our team’s mission is to be a nurturing, inclusive and transformational school. We strive for excellence in everything we do through our curriculum and the range of exciting opportunities we offer beyond everyday lessons, helping the children to thrive as individuals. We recognise the vital role our school plays in equipping our children with the skills and attitudes they need to be successful in the next stages of their education and in wider society.
My recent appointment as Head Teacher sees the start of a new, exciting chapter of the school’s ongoing journey towards excellence. I aim to build on and improve the links between the school, its families and the wider community. I am also committed to investing in our kind, caring and dedicated team of teachers and support staff so that they flourish as professionals who are happy to come to work. Westdale’s school values of ‘Work hard, be kind’ guide, not just our children, but all of us in our work.
Please do get in touch with me to arrange a visit.”
