I feel very lucky to have joined the Estcots team this year, as both Deputy Head and Governor. I have been welcomed warmly by the whole Estcots community. I have been teaching for over 20 years and am still constantly surprised by the many talents and level of enthusiasm children display.

Although Education Policy may be changing at a rapid pace, the entitlement of our young people to a first class education remains at the heart of everything we do. I look forward to working closely with the Governing body to ensure that high expectations and the wellbeing of all the children in our care remain a priority.

The opportunity to educate future generations is a rare privilege, bringing with it a huge responsibility to provide the best all-round education possible.

As Headteacher at Estcots working with the Governors adds value to our work we are very fortunate to have such committed and time generous governors. As governors we aim to prepare young people for happiness and success in their adult lives. We care about the individual and pride ourselves in the warmth of a community in which all our pupils feel valued.

We all aim to ensure that Estcots is a community school to be proud of!
