Dear Parents and Carers,

I am delighted to be writing to you as the new Headteacher of St Giles School. I feel privileged to have been chosen to continue and build upon the success that the school has already achieved under the leadership of Virginia Marshall. I wish Ginny good health and happiness in her retirement.

I have worked in special education for over 20 years and believe that the needs of the children should always be held at the heart of all decision making within a school. Like many schools in England, this year St Giles will be working together to further develop our curriculum, continuing to ensure we support your child to “be the best that they can be”.

During my visits to St Giles over the last two terms, I have been impressed by your wonderful children, the dedication of staff and governors and the support that the parent community gives to the school. I am looking forward to building strong relationships with you, your child, staff and governors. Do come and say hello if you are visiting the school.

Yours sincerely,
