Welcome to LPS!
Like you, I am new! I am delighted and honoured to be appointed as Headteacher of Leominster Primary School. I am ambitious and endeavour to put school improvement at the forefront of my new role alongside my new Deputy Headteacher, Rebecca Wargen.
Alongside getting to know you all and the Leominster community, I am ready and excited to demonstrate my skills as an effective leader, working alongside an experienced and successful staff team. I am in a strong position of experience having been a Headteacher for several years. My philosophy for education is simple: I want every child to learn and progress to be successful young people. To do this, we need to work together as a school community to develop our pupils both academically and personally. Their time at Leominster should leave a legacy on their lives and support them as they grow into wonderfully kind human beings.
Who are we?
At Leominster Primary School, we are proud to serve the whole of Leominster and its diverse community. Our children come from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences and cultures, creating a vibrant and inclusive school where everyone belongs.
We understand the unique context of our community. We support a significant number of children with additional needs, including SEND, English as an Additional Language (EAL) and autism, and we recognise that many children require high levels of emotional and pastoral support.
Why are we here?
Our mission at Leominster is to create an environment that is perfect for success, where we can pursue academic excellence within our curriculum. As a trauma-informed school, relationships are at the heart of everything we do. We believe that children thrive when they feel safe, valued and understood. Our nurturing approach, strong safeguarding culture and commitment to wellbeing help every child develop confidence, resilience and a sense of belonging.
We celebrate the rich diversity within our school and actively broaden children's horizons through a curriculum that builds knowledge, experiences and aspirations. We work closely with families, recognising the importance of partnership and community in helping children succeed.
Above all, Leominster Primary School is a place of happiness, care and ambition. We are committed to ensuring that every child is known, supported and inspired to achieve their full potential, whatever their starting point.
How shall we live?
We live our vision wholeheartedly in all that we do. Leominster Primary School is a unique and creative hub of excellence where high standards of work and achievement oscillate effectively with passion and pride. The ‘Leominster Way’ will be at the heart of curriculum enabling us to implement our three core values:
