St Alphege Church of England Infant School

A warm welcome from Mrs Liz Thomas-Friend (Executive Headteacher) In September 2016 I was delighted to be appointed as Executive Headteacher at St Alphege. I work as Executive Headteacher of both St Alphege CE Infant School and Herne CE Infant School. I am very fortunate that in both schools there is a strong Head of School who leads the schools on a day to day basis.

I trained as an Early Years Specialist and have taught the infant age range in a variety of schools across the country. I have had the opportunity to work with amazing practitioners and have an interest in the international dimension of education, visiting Finland, Sweden and Canada to explore education systems.

I believe that every child should be valued, respected and loved and that well-being and involvement is paramount to the success of each child's life chances. I recognise the importance of the home-school relationship and that by working together we enable your children to achieve.

The Arts and curriculum enrichment has such a vital role in children's lives and as practitioners and parents we must ensure that our children receive the very best provision.
