All families should have received an invitation to my “Meet the Headteacher” evenings which start this week. I am holding these events to introduce myself to you in person, so you can find out a bit more about me, what I stand for and my plans for the Academy going forward. I am also very interested to hear the views of families about the current strengths and areas for development for the Academy, and ideas about our future priorities. The evenings take place as follows:

• Wednesday 13^th January: Hanover
• Thursday 14^th January: Stuart
• Wednesday 20^th January: Tudor
• Thursday 21^st January: Windsor
• Sixth Form parents – any of the above evenings (please let us know which one!)

Each meeting will begin at 6pm in the Hall. There will be a presentation from me of about half an hour, followed by an opportunity to feedback your views and for more informal discussions to take place. Please reply to the email invitation if you are planning to attend, so we have an idea of numbers. If you wish to attend a different evening to the one allocated to your House, please let us know. I look forward to meeting you.
