We're glad you're here. I hope you find it educational and that it provides you with a glimpse of our school and the amazing young people we work with. James Hornsby School is a popular, oversubscribed school rated as 'Good' by Ofsted where students' and staff are highly committed and enjoy school life. Together We Excel is our school's motto, and every student at James Hornsby is a part of the family. Being the head teacher at James Hornsby School makes me incredibly proud. In the summer of 2019, I proudly accepted the headship at James Hornsby, and I'm still incredibly enthused about continuing the school's recent success. Schools should be motivating and offer the opportunity required to produce the highest results. Every youngster should have access to a top-notch education. No one should be able to tell what young people are capable of accomplishing, and we should be dedicated to making sure every student is equipped to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. We at James Hornsby are dedicated about promoting, protecting, and enhancing everyone's well-being. Our high expectations for students will be reached if we have a safe and joyful learning environment, a robust, diversified curriculum, and good teaching. We hope to do this through the efforts of our outstanding faculty and staff, first-rate facilities, and a strict policy on great behaviour. Because we are aware of the difference excellence can make in the lives of our young people, their families, and the community, we shall pursue it with tenacity and ambition. I'm looking forward to working with you, and I hope this website provides all the details you require.
