I am proud to lead Sandwell Community School as we continue to adapt to the needs and challenges of our students. This academic year marks the launch of our Centres of Recovery Education (COR), a new initiative aimed at enhancing our preventative education offer to Sandwell schools—at a price schools can afford. If you’re interested in learning more about this exciting new offer, especially our latest KS4 AP Plus program, don’t hesitate—get in touch today.

I am continually impressed by the dedication and energy of our staff. They consistently go above and beyond for our students. Our students deserve the very best, and I expect all SCS staff to never give up on them. One of my key roles is to ensure that all key players work together to help our students reach their full potential, with students actively involved in shaping their education.

Our CREATE essential elements are central to our development and will solidify our standing as an effective school in the eyes of all our partners. To raise the bar quickly, we are focusing on three key pillars of success.

Together, we can create EXCELLENCE. I have no doubt this journey will be challenging, but if we consistently do the simple things to the highest standards, we will achieve excellence. Once we’ve secured it, we must ensure that we share it. One thing is certain—we’ve already begun the journey.
