Thank you for taking an interest in our school. Our academy is a vibrant, diverse and welcoming community, which we want to be an outstanding place to learn but also work – where hearts and minds connect. The children of Hill View Academy and the whole Almondbury community deserve the absolute best and I will do everything in my power to deliver that.
I want to help create a school, working closely with our amazing staff team and other community leaders, that your children are desperate to attend – a place they feel safe and happy, excited and enthralled. A school they can proudly call their own!
I am passionate about giving children opportunities to succeed in not just the core subjects but more widely; drama, music, art and sport for example.
