I am writing to introduce myself as the new Head of Key Stage 3

I have been part of The Phoenix Private School for over five years, previously serving as Deputy Head of KS3 and, more recently, as Head of STEM and Innovation. I have also taught Computer Science across the school during this time, and many of you may already know me through my work with students and staff.

As we move through this transition, my priority is to ensure stability, consistency, and continued support for all students. We will maintain our strong focus on high-quality teaching, positive behaviour, and student wellbeing, particularly as we approach the important assessment period later this term.

I look forward to continuing to work closely with you and supporting your children throughout their KS3 journey.

Interim Head of Key Stage 3
