Message from the Head
I am extremely honoured and proud to be the Head of School at Hill Avenue Academy. I strongly believe in working closely with staff, children, governors and families to continue to build upon the success of the school. A cohesive approach is something that I will continually strive to achieve to create a great school.
It is my belief that every child, no matter their starting point, deserve the very best possible chance to succeed. I will wholeheartedly strive to ensure that this happens through the education and experiences the children receive whilst being at this school.
I believe in an open, honest culture whereby families and children feel part of the school community and have their voice heard. I want children to feel safe and supported during their time at Hill Avenue to ensure they achieve their potential.
I look forward in continuing to work with everyone involved in the school community to drive the school forward. I would like to thank you all for your continued support and passion in helping us be the very best that we can to create an inclusive school that caters for the needs of all our children. Do not hesitate to contact the school if there is anything that we can do to support you.
