As I set out on my first year of headship (after a year as head of school in the same institution), I have set out an aspirational vision which I hope will excite students, staff, parents and our wider school community.
In my Catholic school, the vision is underpinned by the gospel values of love, faith and hope – grounded in a biblical parable of growth based on the mustard seed.
My vision, which was popular with the governors at interview is: “A world-class Catholic education that encourages our students to want to make the world a better place.”
The artist Josef Albers once said: “If one says ‘red’ and there are 50 people listening, it can be sure that there are 50 reds in their minds. And one can be sure that all these reds will be very different.”
