Head's Introduction

From the first moment that I joined Arlies Primary School in 2003, I was hooked! This is a school with an extraordinary charm and an ethos which holds the children at its heart. We are lucky to have a highly-skilled, committed team who strive for the upmost success for our children and who have a caring and supportive ethos at their core. Arlies Primary School is undoubtedly a unique school and I feel privileged to be leading us forward.

It is my aim to build on the secure foundations and current achievements ensuring that our school is forward thinking and ambitious within a supportive and safe environment. I fully appreciate how important each year of a child’s school life is towards preparing them for life.  I am passionate about teaching and have high expectations, not only for myself but for all members of our school community. I hope you will support our high expectations in all areas, especially in attendance and behaviour which naturally impacts greatly on achievement.

I will strive to ensure that our school supports children to be whole rounded individuals.  I strongly believe that school is the opportunity for children to discover and unlock hidden talents in a fun and nurturing environment.  Every child has the ability to do amazing things if a school provides the right opportunities.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries, concerns or there is anything I can do to help and support you with your child’s learning and school life.

I would like to thank you personally for your continued commitment and support towards the staff and pupils of this school.
