Dear Families of Allens Croft and Prospective Families, 

I am extremely honoured and excited to take on the role of Head Teacher at Allens Croft Primary School. Having been here since 2011 and now as the Head Teacher, I have been part of an amazing team of staff, children, parents and carers and governors for many years, who all work tirelessly to ensure that Allens Croft Primary School is a positive, welcoming and successful place for all. I am excited to further connect and develop this wonderful community and look forward to working closely with you and your children to provide the best educational experience possible. I would also like to welcome Catherine Blackwood, as our new Deputy Head Teacher, to our school community and look forward to further building the school’s offer alongside the staff team, families and governors.
