“I am a passionate leader who believes that all children should be exposed to the best education, opportunities and experiences, in order to be the best that they can be!” 

Welcome to our wonderful school… 

I feel incredibly privileged to undertake the role of Headteacher at Ankermoor Primary Academy. Having known the school for a number of years (whilst working in the Fierté MAT), its reputation has always been one of family, kindness, happiness, high expectations and a safe environment to grow and develop. 

It is always a pleasure to welcome our children each day at the school gates, seeing them come into school, with a smile and a positive attitude is a reward in itself. Our children are curious, confident, polite and articulate – as you will hopefully soon see for yourselves when you visit. 

Our happy and diverse atmosphere comes from the warmth and vibrancy that radiates from children who feel safe in their learning environment and feel confident to take risks in order to become great learners. Be reassured that your son or daughter will be valued as an individual by teachers who will care for them with genuine empathy and respect.
