I am delighted to welcome you to our wonderful school. Tunbury is a special place a warm, welcoming and successful school community, with high expectations for all. As Tunbury Headteacher, I think I have the best job in the world! It's such a privilege to lead our school community, enabling our children to children develop, thrive and blossom during their time with us.
My very first Tunbury Reception classes are now in Year 6, and I am very proud of each and every one of them! Team Tunbury children are confident, articulate and kind, with a genuine love of learning. Team Tunbury staff are dedicated and talented, able to guide and support our children to achieve their very best.
As a Team Tunbury parent/carer, you will be encouraged to get involved in your child's education throughout their time at primary school.
