Hi, I'm Miss Keitch. I am a highly experienced teacher, Senior Leader, Inclusion Manager and mentor, with over 16 years of experience working directly with children, families, schools, their leaders, governing bodies and the wider community.

My vision is to encourage everyone to develop a love of learning and a curiosity and fascination with the world we live in. I have high aspirations for all children and an expectation that they will excel and achieve their potential. I am passionate about giving children the best possible education and access to opportunities, all with the aim of promoting and reinforcing independence, self-esteem and aspiration.

Outside of school I love exploring the fells, running, walking my dog and baking.

To see how parents’ and pupils’ views are listened to, and how it shapes changes in school.
