I would like to introduce myself as the Executive Headteacher and to take this opportunity to say a very warm welcome to all parents, friends and family of Shepherdswell Academy. It is a privilege to be entrusted with the role of leading Shepherdswell Academy and Orchard Academy and I am very much looking forward to working with you and your child.

Together, we learn and grow.

Your child has just begun or is beginning their educational journey and I am so proud to play a huge part in their development at Shepherdswell Academy. Children are at the heart of everything we do. At Shepherdswell Academy, we strongly believe in developing your child’s character, layering them with as many experiences as we can in order for them to grow emotionally, socially, spiritually and academically.

We have to give children the knowledge and skills to achieve in life. Children need to be able to adapt, be resilient, be resourceful and think for themselves. Our children are fantastic and they deserve the best there is and to be cared for by the best there are.

As Executive Headteacher, I am looking forward to continuing to develop links with the community – the children, family and friends of both schools. We can only be successful with your support and guidance. You know your child better than anyone. Be a part of their education but at the same time, trust us to do the best for your child. I look forward to developing a strong partnership with you in order to allow your child to achieve and become successful learners during their time at Shepherdswell Academy.
