As Executive Headteacher, I split my time between here and Kings Academy Easthampstead Park in Bracknell. Im proud to be leading both schools on rapid and sustained improvement journeys, ensuring they are the first-choice schools for our local communities.
Since joining Kings Group Academies in 2020, Ive seen firsthand how our core values of Honesty, Faith, and Courage shape everything we do. I believe a school is more than a place of learning it's a vibrant community.
Im incredibly proud of our diversity, with students from over 40 different countries, and our commitment to helping young people become the next generation who will, in turn, help others. When Im not at school, I enjoy supporting my own teenage children and cheering on my favourite football team, Bolton Wanderers.
