Tom Gardiner  Associative Principal

We are a welcoming, ambitious and caring school community made up over 900 brilliant students and a team of deeply committed staff. I am proud to lead and serve this school where we have designed an ambitious curriculum to inspire our students and empower them to succeed at all levels of education - and beyond. 



 

Having been a teacher of English for nearly 20 years now, and a senior leader since 2012, nothing gives me more pleasure in my job than to see young people achieve their potential. My work for two of the UK's leading multi academy trusts has given me a close understanding of the two essential drivers in creating a truly outstanding school: firstly, a culture of relentlessly high standards and strong routines for our young people; secondly, an ambitious and broad curriculum to inspire and develop their academic and personal skillsets.
