On behalf of all the children, staff and governors, I welcome you to Grendon Underwood Primary School. I am very proud to be the headteacher of a nurturing and successful village primary school.

I joined Grendon in 2017 as the Reception teacher and Head of EYFS, having previously taught in a three-form entry school in Aylesbury. I have now been working with children in a variety of settings for the past 30 years.  Being a mother of 3 children, I am very aware of the responsibility that the staff and I have in ensuring that the highest standard of teaching and learning is achieved. We have a hugely committed team and wonderful children, which, of course, is a great place for any new head to start! 

The needs of the children are always paramount in life and decision-making within a school. I strongly believe in providing children with exciting, creative and meaningful learning experiences which build their enthusiasm for learning and help them to grow and develop positively in a variety of ways. I think it is crucial to involve the children and their families as partners in their education. I am also keen on building a whole school community which thrives on mutual respect and values positive relationships. 

I know how vital working in partnership with parents really is in order for children to find school a positive and rewarding experience. As key educators in your children’s lives, I feel that it is important that you have a voice and that as a school we are approachable and allocate time to listen to your concerns, worries or thoughts about the school. 

You can be assured that as Headteacher, I will strive to create the best education for your child/children whilst they are members of our school family.

We have a unique site, described by those who visit as a ‘Tardis’, with unrivalled space for our children.

I hope this website gives you a flavour of the breadth of learning opportunities children experience at Grendon Underwood. If you would like to know more about our school, please arrange a visit and see for yourself.
