As the Headteacher of Goat Lees Primary School, which began operations in September 2013, I am thrilled to be writing to you.
It certainly is a once in a lifetime experience to be the headteacher of a new school.
get established in the Ashford area.
Since January 2013, I have served as the headteacher of Goat Lees Primary School.
I've been a senior staff member in schools for more than 15 years, and I've had the good fortune to hold the position of deputy headteacher at two flourishing institutions.
This will be essential for making sure that over the coming few years, our newly established school continues to grow and thrive.
It is my obligation to make sure that Goat Lees Primary School serves as a resource that is open to everyone and encourages the neighbourhood.
I consider myself fortunate to have had the help of the Ashford Headteachers' Collaboration Group, which has made significant contributions to realising the dream of opening a new primary school in the region.
