Head Teacher

In 2018, we moved to a new school building and grounds and expanded to a three-form entry school.

Our amazing new school building is on a new site with facilities which further enhance our curriculum – dance studio, cookery room, floodlit multi-sports pitch, wildlife areas, multiple playgrounds and break-out learning spaces.

It truly is an exciting time to be joining the Shakespeare team!

• A team of dedicated and talented colleagues who are determined to deliver excellence in all aspects of their work
  
• A school that places ongoing professional development at the heart of personal and school improvement
• A stunning new building on a new site with fantastic learning facilities both inside and outside of the school building
• A school that places considerations of ‘work-life’ balance at the heart of all decision-making
