About

I am absolutely delighted to be joining The Chalet School as Interim Head Teacher for this academic year. The vision and values of the school are evident in every part of the school day. We celebrate achievements as a community and challenge our pupils to reach, and surpass, their potential.

The incredible staff team at The Chalet School are all committed to ensuring that each pupil receives the appropriate support and experiences learning in an engaging, creative, and exciting way. Our four curriculum pathways enable progression through all areas of learning and are supported by a rich variety of extra-curricular activities and opportunities.

We recognise that our school community extends beyond the walls of the building and that our families are key part of our collective journey. The Chalet School is a wonderful place for pupils to learn, to make friends, and to discover their own individual skills and talents. We want every one of our pupils to: Dream, Believe, and Achieve!

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

Governing body (6 current, 10 former)

iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.

1 governor is linked to a profile (all confirmed).

Governors marked “Confirmed same person” have exactly the same forename and surname as the only officer of that name at the school’s own academy trust company on the Companies House register, so we treat them as the same person. The governance record itself comes from DfE.
