As you will be aware, Peter Rowland announced his impending retirement earlier this term. Since that announcement the Governing Body have been working tirelessly in the area of Headteacher recruitment in order to appoint Peter’s successor.

Interviews have taken place this week and as a result we have been able to select an outstanding individual to take the school into the next phase of its development. I am delighted to announce that this person is Richard Johnson, current Deputy Head at Severn Vale School. Richard’s contribution as Deputy Headteacher has been immense and governors are in no doubt that he is absolutely the right person to lead the school on to the next phase of its success.

I am sure that you will join me in congratulating Richard, who will take up his new position when Peter retires, in September 2014.

Yours sincerely

Tanya Ciriaco
Chair of Governors
