Welcome!

As Executive Headteacher I am pleased to welcome you to the Courtlands School website.

Courtlands School is a warm, happy and welcoming place to be with a group of staff who are committed to supporting pupils to fulfil their potential and prepare them for the next stage of their learning journey. Understanding each individual pupil and family is central to our approach and supports us with the process of removing any barriers to ensure they make the very best academic, social and personal progress.

Prior to working at Courtlands, I worked in a special school in Somerset for over a decade, 8 years as Headteacher/Executive Headteacher, and prior to that worked for a decade in the primary mainstream sector.
