I am delighted to join Grove Road Primary School as Headteacher. Having worked in schools and primary education for the last 17 years, I am looking forward to sharing my experience and enthusiasm with staff and pupils in order to promote high expectations and aspirations for all.

It is very exciting to be joining such a positive and determined team of people. At Grove Road we all share a common goal centred on the children, to foster a culture of learning and enrichment for all. For me, a strong and effective partnership with parents is an essential ingredient for any school; working together to equip all children with the skills and aspirations to become life-long learners.

Parents are a key indicator of our success on the continued journey to school improvement, and I look forward to working with you to ensure the very best opportunities and provision for your children.

My aim is to foster a culture of partnership and success for all, so that parents, pupils, governors and staff feel confident and secure that Grove Road will go from strength to strength.
