I am delighted to welcome you to our school website, where I hope you can get a glimpse into what life is like at Spire Junior School - it is a dynamic, caring and aspirational school to be a part of. I am proud to be the Headteacher at Spire, where the team work so closely together to support and care for our children and families.
The dedication of our staff never ceases to amaze me - they truly go above and beyond for our children. We place great importance on an active partnership between home and school and believe that only through working closely with parents and carers will we be able to achieve the best for our children.
We have high expectations of our children regarding their homework, home-reading and uniform but will always offer support to those who need it regarding these. Our pastoral team are always willing to offer help, guidance and information that will best support our young people.
