Buckingham Primary: The new Headteacher

Following up my visit last week with the NSPCC to Buckingham Primary School, I was invited back on Tuesday to meet with the new Headteacher: Mrs Naima France. And what an impressive teacher she is! An hour slipped by as she talked about her plans for the school and how she working with her "amazing team of staff" to create a step change of improvement in the school. She is evidently very focused on making sure that the whole school is heading in the same direction - one that will ensure that each pupil becomes all that they can be.

As she says on their website:

At BPS you will find dedicated staff who work hard to ensure that all children are happy and successful learners. We have high aspirations for all of our children.  We aim for them to flourish in to emotionally resilient, confident, life long learners that become the very best that they can be. We encourage this through our exciting curriculum which is planned to challenge and inspire all of our children.

As always, I am so delighted to meet people who see it as their job to ensure other people, (in Naime's case, some very young people), achieve all that they possibly can. Indeed, in every word she said to me, came through a burning commitment to great teaching and brilliant support for all the young people and their families and carers in her school. BPS have recruited one excellent Headteacher!
