A warm welcome to Falconer's Hill Infant School Executive Headteachers Welcome at Falconer's Hill Infant school, everything we do has the children at the heart of it. Our passionate teaching team works hard to provide the children of Falconer's Hill Infant school with an education of the highest quality. As a head teacher I have always been principled about learning.
I am a learner. I love to learn, and I am delighted to lead a school and staff team which is happy to explore new ideas and to continually develop our practice. The children and the families are the heart of FHIS and I believe they should all have the best opportunities to reach their full potential.
I have a real love for learning and want to ensure we are providing creative and irresistible experiences across each and every day. Together, home and school can create a strong partnership which can engender and nurture that essential aspect of children's education, a love for learning, which is why we actively encourage your involvement.
