What does leading a primary school mean to you?

Our committed and dedicated staff team work so hard to plan and resource a whole range of learning experiences for our children. They provide unique and exciting after school clubs and organise wow days to hook the children into their new learning. The staff team are always enthusiastic to organise and deliver engaging community events such as the summer fete, fireworks night and winter wonderland.
	What are you the most proud of achieving in your tenure as Head of School at Maple Grove? I joined Maple Grove in June 2025 and I am very proud to be starting a new chapter in the school’s history. I am excited to be leading a dedicated staff team, working alongside the children and generating positive relationships with all of the Parents/Carers to make our best even better.
‘All decisions I make will have the children at the heart - it will only happen if it improves the progress and outcomes for them. My mission is to ensure that all children at Maple Grove experience a wide range of learning experiences so that they leave the school as well rounded individuals who are equipped to be successful in the next stage of their education’ Mr Simon Remmer NPQH
