I am very proud to be the Headteacher of Adderley Church of England Primary School and enjoy working with the children, staff, parents, Church and wider community to ensure we can be the very best we can and to ensure that all flourish as individuals.
We believe that every child has the right to to a high quality curriculum in a caring and nurturing environment and encourage and support our pupils to be advocates for change and kindness as members of the community.
Through following our fundamental principles to be Ready, Respectful & Safe and our school vision which simply states to 'Love your neighbour as yourself' as Good Samaritans, we promote values which seek to provide a foundation which allows all to live life in all its fullness in a way which is both compassionate and brave.
