We are excited and confident about the future as we continue our journey to excellence. Our CPD programme is very strong. An outstanding team of teaching and learning professionals, including Lead Practitioners and Teaching and Learning Coaches, lead whole college and bespoke teacher development.
Furthermore, behaviour and inclusion support for pupils is exceptional. There is a very clear and established behaviour management system with 'send out'. The Behaviour Support Team helps staff and pupils to help resolve any issues that occur and work to ensure that pupils behave
impeccably (one of our 'Seven Habits' for pupils). Centralised detentions help to reduce teacher workload.
I am fortunate to work with an extremely dedicated team of staff. We are passionate about our pupils' learning, and the Garth Hill community. We seek the very best for our pupils and we are committed to providing excellent service and care to them and their families. We also work in a great learning environment with superb facilities.
