Welcome from the Headteacher

A warm hello to all parents and carers,

As a dedicated educational leader with years of experience in senior leadership roles, I have had the privilege of working across various aspects of school improvement. My journey in education has been driven by a deep passion for ensuring that every child is provided with the opportunities and support they need to thrive. I believe that learning should be an experience that challenges, excites, and motivates all students, helping them to reach their full potential in a supportive environment. 

At the heart of my vision is a commitment to inclusivity, where every learner, regardless of their starting point, feels valued and has access to high-quality education. I am driven by the belief that every child has the right to succeed, and it is our role as educators to remove barriers and open doors for all learners. 

I am excited about the journey ahead and the opportunity to work with the entire school community—governors, leaders, staff, parents, and pupils alike. Together, we will continue to move our school forward, making it the best it can be for all our children, creating a vibrant, inclusive, and forward-thinking place to learn and grow. 

My goal is that we at Thorp, foster an open, transparent and welcoming ethos, with a commitment to having an open-door policy where you will have the chance to engage even more with the school’s progress; continuing to build our vision of ‘Shaping lives for future success’.
