  From Our Headteacher:

  It gives me great pleasure to lead our wonderful school as our Headteacher as we strive to provide "A Flying Start to a Learning Life". Having graduated from Cambridge and taught in a variety of primary schools in Wiltshire and Essex, it has been fabulous to serve our West Sussex Local Authority over so many years. My passion lies in primary education and learning. I have recently completed my National Professional Qualification in Executive Leadership (NPQEL). As an experienced Headteacher, I enjoy supporting other schools, the Rother Valley Locality of Schools and the Local Authority.

  I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, supporting Arsenal FC and the NFL Dallas Cowboys!
