c
fam
milies and sta
aff extremely well and hav
ve been provvided with the platform to
o
develop as a leader myself. The Governing body
b
are forw
ward thinking
g and very su
upportive of
developing our peop
ple and their careers.
Whilst, I am intensely proud of th
he legacy we
e have built at

hool, I am resolutely
focussed
d upon the horizon
h
of ourr future in ord

e
I am excited at
a the prospe

From myy point of vie
ew the role off the deputy is simple. To

The Dep
