In January 2023 I was  delighted  to be appointed as the Headteacher of Crowmarsh Gifford Primary School. During the spring & summer term I started to get to know our pupils, parents, carers, staff and the school.  Together we revised the vision and ethos, ahead of reopening in September 2023 and starting our first academic year together. Care, Grow, Persevere & Shine are our key values, and we embed them in all we do.

I love being a Headteacher, enabling children and staff to shine. From my twelve-year experience of being a Headteacher, I know it takes compassion, strength & kindness, as well a happy team of like-minded people to make this happen. A successful and happy school depends on all of us working together. One of my core beliefs is ‘treating others as you would be wished to be treated yourself.’ 

I am available each day at the school gate, before and after school, so please do say hello.
