From the Maidenhall Primary School
I'd like to welcome you to our website on behalf of Maidenhall Primary School's students, teachers, and governors. I've had the honour of serving as the school's headteacher since April 2016. I am determined to providing all of our students with an inspirational and exciting curriculum, together with the rest of the hardworking staff at the school. Our goal is to give our kids the lifelong skills they'll need to contribute positively to society in our quickly changing world. We understand that kids need to learn in a nurturing, secure, and joyful setting. We are aware that providing our kids with the best learning experiences requires teamwork with our families and the neighbourhood. In order for our students to grow in resilience and respect for one another, we want to challenge them.
