From the Dyson Perrins CofE Academy
Being able to announce myself as the headteacher of this amazing school is a huge honour. I was immediately impressed with Dyson Perrins' great staff-student interactions and welcoming learning environment from the moment I walked through the doors. Being hired as the school's headteacher in September 2018 makes me feel incredibly proud. We place equal value on both academic excellence and students' personal development. Dyson Perrins is dedicated to pushing students to reach their potential and has a strong feeling of community, a desire to assist and nourish each individual. We anticipate that students will work hard, respect others, and be nice. The school has seen rapid improvements over recent years and has established a strong reputation within the local community. The lower school's year groups are currently on the verge of being oversubscribed, and enrollment is rising quickly. Since we are a completely inclusive Church of England school, pupils of all faiths and none are welcome to enrol. We think that because of our Christian roots, we can promote a tolerant and compassionate culture. Our school culture is permeated with the qualities of belief, trust, resilience, and challenge. I have a strong belief in the value of a quality education and the importance of laying the groundwork for successful life. Daily, we try to motivate our kids. If you would like to visit us on a regular working day, we would be happy to show you our school in action.
