‘Be kind, be curious, be you’

Welcome from the Executive Headteacher

It is a privilege to introduce myself as the new Executive Headteacher of Henleaze Infant School and Henleaze Junior School. I am delighted to be leading these two vibrant, highly regarded schools through the next step in their long-standing history of collaboration.

Our tree-filled site in the heart of the Henleaze community provides not only a beautiful backdrop for learning but also a daily reminder of the growth, resilience, and interconnectedness we nurture in our pupils. The branches surrounding us are a fitting symbol for the values we share across both schools: respect, curiosity, ambition, and community. These values underpin every aspect of school life – from the way we treat one another, to the way we challenge ourselves, and the way we work together for the good and growth of all.

I believe strongly in the power of partnership between home and school. When we work alongside parents and carers, we create the strongest foundation for children to thrive both academically and personally. I look forward to building positive, open relationships with all families so that together, we can give our children the best possible start in life.

Henleaze Infant and Junior Schools are places where children are encouraged to ask questions, to dream big, and to recognise the importance of contributing to something greater than themselves. I am excited to lead our dedicated staff in continuing to provide a safe, inspiring, and inclusive environment where every child can flourish.

Whether you are a prospective parent, a current family, or a member of the wider community, I warmly invite you to explore our website, visit our schools, and see for yourself the enthusiasm and joy that fill our classrooms and playgrounds.

I look forward to an exciting journey ahead for our schools – one rooted in our shared values and branching towards an ambitious future.
