I hope you and your families have enjoyed a restful and happy summer break. I’m delighted to be joining you as the new Headteacher of Yardley Hastings Primary School, and I feel incredibly proud and privileged to be part of such a special school community.

From the moment I first visited, I was struck by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the clear sense of pride pupils and staff take in their school. Yardley Hastings is a place where children are known as individuals, cared for deeply, and encouraged to flourish, and I am excited to lead the school forward with this strong foundation.

Over the coming weeks and months, I look forward to getting to know our children, families, and staff. I believe wholeheartedly in working in partnership with parents and carers, so that we can build a positive and open relationship to support every child’s learning and wellbeing.

My priorities as Headteacher are simple: to ensure your children feel safe, happy and inspired every day; to maintain high expectations for behaviour and achievement; and to deliver a rich and exciting curriculum that reflects our values and prepares children for the wider world.

Here’s to a successful and joyful year ahead. Thank you for the warm welcome I’ve already received.

Mrs Tuttle
