From the The Prescot School
As the new head of school, it gives me great pride to welcome you to The Prescot School.
The Heath Family Trust (Northwest), which we joined as a converter academy in August 2016, includes The Prescot School.
This year, we have a new leadership structure with a Head of School who spends the entire week at The Prescot School and an executive Head Teacher who works with the Head of School, staff, and students for 2.5 days.
The school is committed to providing high-quality instruction at an appropriate pace and level of difficulty.
We cherish the work that the children generate and recognise accomplishments and progress in a variety of ways all year long.
Our students serve as great representatives for our school and collaborate with staff members in a range of leadership positions to make sure they are an important part of our school community.
Parents are welcome to visit the school at any time during the day to observe The Prescot School in action. Visitors to the school frequently remark on the welcoming and joyful environment they experience as well as the positive and purposeful environment that is there.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you and working with you to make sure your child is secure, happy, and reaches their full potential in all areas of learning so they can have fulfilling lives.
