From the Falconer School
Being named the headteacher of Falconer SEMH school fills me with joy. I have a distinct vision on how to advance Falconer and am a dedicated and knowledgeable leader in the subject of social emotional and mental health (SEMH). A highly skilled and committed staff that cares passionately about nurturing and supporting your son in his endeavours to be the greatest has been passed on to me. Please rest assured that any adjustments will be made with your child's best interests in mind, with clear communication and smooth implementation. I think Falconer has a lot of excellent assets, and I think that the success of the school depends greatly on how well the parents, teachers, and students get along. Together, we can make sure that students enjoy their time at Falconer, make progress, and leave us with the knowledge and attitudes they need to succeed in their future endeavours. We will keep you aware of the numerous possibilities for you to meet and speak with me over the next several days and weeks. I'm thrilled to be setting the direction for Falconer's successful future.
