Christine Peden – Headteacher

Office Expiry: Ex-Officio

As well as becoming the Headteacher in September 2014, I gained a place on the Governing Body of the school.  The Governors have the potential to implement real and exciting changes within the school.

Having always strived to be the best teacher I can be, I feel privileged to now be in a position, as part of a team that will determine the best direction for the school, ensuring that we are always seeking the very best for the children in our care and helping prepare them for their future.
