Head’s Foreword

Welcome to Telford Park School, where a commitment to excellence in education is at the core of everything we do. As Headteacher, I am proud to lead a school that prioritises delivering a high-quality, well-rounded education that not only supports academic success but also prepares our students for life beyond the classroom.
At Telford Park, our carefully crafted, knowledge-rich curriculum is both engaging and challenging, offering a wide variety of subjects to meet the diverse interests and strengths of our students. We aim to inspire curiosity and foster a lifelong love of learning, ensuring that each student gains the skills, knowledge, and critical thinking abilities they need to excel in their future endeavours.
We also recognise the importance of preparing students for the world of work, which is why we offer a comprehensive careers programme. This includes opportunities for work experience, career guidance, and support in making informed decisions about further education and career paths. Our goal is to help every student achieve their ambitions.
A positive and respectful environment is essential for student success, and our behaviour expectations reflect this. We set high standards and provide clear guidance to maintain a safe, inclusive, and supportive atmosphere where all students can thrive. Our core values—being prepared, showing respect, and challenging oneself—are key to both academic and personal development.
Equally important is our commitment to student well-being. We provide strong pastoral care, recognising that a student’s emotional health is fundamental to their overall success. Our pastoral team works closely with students and families to ensure that every individual feels supported, valued, and heard, fostering resilience and personal growth.
We understand the vital role of regular attendance in student success. By working closely with families, we promote good attendance habits, recognising that every school day is an opportunity for learning, development, and building connections within our community.
As part of our continuous improvement efforts, we regularly reflect on our practices and make changes to enhance the educational experience for our students. This includes updating our curriculum, investing in resources, and providing professional development for staff to ensure we are always progressing and creating the best learning environment.
We are also committed to building strong partnerships with local businesses and organisations. These relationships provide our students with real-world experiences, insights into various career paths, and a deeper understanding of their role in society. Such connections help prepare our students to become engaged, responsible citizens who contribute positively to their communities.
Whether you are a prospective parent, a member of our school community, or a visitor, I invite you to explore our website to learn more about what makes Telford Park School a place where every student is encouraged to reach their full potential.
Thank you for visiting our website. I look forward to working together to ensure Telford Park School remains a place of learning, growth, and success for all.
Best regards,

Ms A. Huntington
Headteacher, Telford Park School
