Dear Parents/Carers
I am delighted and privileged to have been appointed Headteacher at Bader Primary School.
I have been a Primary School teacher for 23 years now, starting my teaching career in Stockton before moving to Middlesbrough as a Deputy Headteacher then becoming a Headteacher in Redcar. During this time, my intention was always to return to my ‘roots’ and hence, I am delighted to be returning to a community school rich in history, in Thornaby.
