Thank You! As your new Headteacher, I would like to say how wonderful it felt to receive so many warm welcomes and wishes of good luck on the school gate yesterday morning! In my (almost!) 7 years as Deputy Headteacher here, I have grown to love everything about this school and the fact that I am now able to serve as Headteacher is an even greater privilege. I am so excited about taking this school forward in partnership with you and building on the many strengths we already have. Mr IJ McDonald
