It would be a wonderful opportunity and honour for me to be a member of the advisory board and to support schools in the South West.
I have the great pleasure to be Headteacher of Gotherington Primary School, a single academy trust just outside Cheltenham. Our dynamic, positive and aspiring learning community is created by an inspirational and dedicated team of staff, children and parents. Gotherington is a motivated, hardworking school, totally committed to providing an excellent platform for learning. I am very proud of the warm and happy atmosphere which pervades the school, and believe that the key to our success is the quality of relationships and the high levels of care which exist between all members of the school community.
Our children grow in confidence and independence and from this foundation they are able to acquire respect for themselves, others and the environment; to use their powers of reasoning and imagination to discover, analyse, innovate, solve problems and to express their ideas confidently and to develop an enjoyment and life-long love of learning.
We work closely with schools in Gloucestershire and schools across the country to share best practice to improve outcomes for all our children.
