Message from Head Teacher

A warm welcome to all of you to our school's website!.  I am so proud to be the Head Teacher of such a wonderful school.  Year on year, the school continues to be flushed with successes; Key Stage 2 SATs results were extremely pleasing, our sports teams and individual athletes rivalled Team GB and music and the Arts were showcased at Christmas, in our school production of a Midsummer Night's Dream and at the end of year celebration assembly, we all have plenty to be proud about.

Berwick Middle has an excellent reputation for helping young people to develop and working with them to achieve.  We believe it is important to support children and ensure that they can play an active role in the school and the community.  We aim to engender a sense of pride and aspiration in all students, wherever their talents may lie.

All of the staff have the best interests of the children at heart and are committed to doing their very best for them and keeping you informed about their progress and achievements.  We have a very strong team of enthusiastic and experienced staff who deliver high quality lessons and many extra-curricular activities at lunchtimes and after school and who support children through the day to day school life.  We aim to provide for the whole child and make learning a positive and enjoyable experience.

We actively encourage parents to play a part in school life and hope you will take every opportunity to become involved at whatever level you feel able; whether that is supporting your son/daughter with their homework, volunteering as a governor, becoming a member of the PTFA or assisting with school events as and when you can.

I hope you will find the website useful.  Should you need any further advice or information or have any suggestions to help us improve, please do not hesitate to contact me.
