Angela O'Rourke - Headteacher

I have a proven track record of excellence in leading, managing and stabilising schools in difficulty and in challenging circumstances.  I offer high levels of accountability in strategic and operational management in supporting rapid growth and in getting schools back on track.

I have worked in mainstream and independent sectors in pre preparatory, primary, secondary, special education as well as SEMH.

I have also held the post as senior examiner and presenter for AQA examinations and well as working as a consultant and course presenter for a leading training provider.

Fun fact:  I have an irrational attachment to David Beckham and am fanatical regarding all things Peloton.
