About

The school has a committed team of teaching, support and ancillary staff. Below you can find a message from the Headteacher as well as a directory of the school Senior Leadership team. It is an absolute pleasure to welcome you to The Lion Works school.

We are a small, unique setting that ensures our students are at the centre of everything we do and embrace our core values; Ambition, Resilience and Community engagement (ARC) to enable our students to have the opportunity to achieve the best possible outcomes for their future.

I have over 20 years experience in a range of educational settings and as the Headteacher feel extremely privileged to be working alongside a dedicated team and supportive community that are proud of forming strong relationships with both students and families.

We pride ourselves on having high aspirations and expectations and strive to develop each individuals interests and celebrate success, whilst meeting the needs of all of our students, ultimately, wanting them to have that sense of belonging and excitement of wanting to come to school to gain opportunities and learn.

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