It is with immense pride and a tremendous sense of responsibility that I write to you as Maidenhill’s new Head Teacher. My mission for our school is to hold the highest expectations and aspirations for our students and their families. I will set our standards ambitiously high and provide every opportunity for our young people to be the very best version of themselves they can be; to achieve beyond what they ever thought was possible; to have a positive impact on society locally and on the national stage; and to lead happy, purposeful lives within and beyond Maidenhill.

Our new mantra ‘Be Kind, Aspire, Persevere, Achieve’, underpins everything we believe in. We are renowned within Gloucestershire for working with our parents and for treating students as individuals and not statistics. Our focus more than ever is to raise aspiration, teaching virtues of responsibility and resilience; ultimately, ensuring students receive excellent qualifications that open the doors of opportunity.

The best schools are ones where Headteachers listen and over the coming weeks and year, I warmly welcome you to come and see our school at work. I have no doubt you will see for yourself why our students are so proud of their school.

Mr A Hunter
