Welcome to our beautiful school and to our webpage for it! I sincerely hope you take the time to look around and get a good sense of who we are and what we do. I'd like to introduce myself as the Headteacher of this wonderful institution, which I began working at in September 2012 as Deputy Headteacher. I was named acting headteacher during the summer term of 2014, and I was named headteacher in January 2015. I feel incredibly privileged to be in charge of such a talented group of adults who put forth endless effort to make the kids' time here the best possible. Every day, the kids inspire me with their commitment, effort, and want to learn. They are courteous, friendly, and excellent representatives of our institution. The Endowed is a compassionate institution with a cosy atmosphere. We are a wonderful family at school, and we all watch out for one another, I frequently tell the kids. Every child should be nurtured and encouraged to achieve their full potential; nothing should prevent them from doing so. As well as delightful children, we are very lucky to have an experienced team of Governors who are heavily involved with the school, strong links with our local churches and very good parental support. Overall, we have a great school and a lot to be happy about. Please look around our website to learn more about who we are. Contact us to set up a visit if you'd like to come to our school.
