Headteacher’s Welcome

I am delighted to be the Headteacher for Whitby School, and I am very much looking forward to working together with all our pupils, Sixth Form students, parents, carers and colleagues. 

I have served as Headteacher in three secondary schools including a merger of two schools to form a new academy. The creation of Whitby School allows a further opportunity to use my experience for the benefit of our pupils, families and colleagues. During the last few years, I have been extremely fortunate to be invited to lead several schools across the country. Each required an experienced Headteacher to prepare the way for a new and exciting next chapter in the school’s history. I am excited to bring my experience and knowledge to create an outstanding secondary school for your community. 

It is always an immense privilege to work with amazing young people and their families, and dedicated teams of colleagues. A successful and happy school depends on all of us working together in partnership. Parents and carers are an essential part of the life of the school, supporting your child to be happy and successful in all that they do. Our staff team’s dedication, skill and care will allow our pupils and students to flourish, and our pupils and students will always remain our top priority; we will dedicate ourselves to your well-being and success. Forging positive relationships between us will make Whitby School an outstanding place to study, work and enjoy.
