What the school offers its staff
Astley Community High School, Whytrig Middle School and Seaton Sluice Middle School are part of the Seaton Valley Federation of Schools. The three schools share a single governing body.
I have a very simple philosophy when it comes to the type of schools that I want to lead. Simply put, I want them to be outstanding in everything that they do and ensure that students attend a school where they are safe, happy and successful. I am immensely proud to be Executive Headteacher of all three schools. We strive for excellence in the education we provide for our students and are a focal point for the local community.
I strongly believe that the relatively small size of all three schools provides a great environment in which to know our young people well, so that we are able to understand and respond to each individual’s needs and enable them to succeed.
