Staff team
In September 2025 we were delighted to welcome Ms Laura Brooks as our Interim Headteacher. Ms Brooks is currently Headteacher at the nearby Russell School Primary School. Ms Brooks works across both schools, ably assisted by Mr John-Paul Gentry, our Deputy Headteacher.
We are pleased to welcome two new teachers this September, Miss Kaur in Year 3 and Miss May in Year 6.
