About

We are delighted that you've shown an interest in our school and hope that you find our website useful. My name is Harjit Chahal and I am the Headteacher at Timbertree Academy. I consider it a privilege to work with the enthusiastic and fantastic children; the committed and dedicated staff team and the supportive families. that make up the Timbertree Community.

At Timbertree, we encourage pupils to develop a love of learning and prepare them for the next stage of their education and future challenges. We are proud that many of our past pupils choose Timbertree for their own children. At Timbertree, we strongly believe that every child is different, yet equally important and valued.

We strive to provide a safe, caring and happy environment which nurtures all areas of a child's growth and development. We give high priority to academic excellence through our delivery of a broad-based and balanced curriculum, but also value achievement and attainment in other areas such as Sport, Technology and the Arts.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
