Welcome to Saxon Hill Academy!

As the Headteacher, I am absolutely delighted to extend a warm greeting to you. I feel incredibly privileged to lead such a magical school where every day is filled with joy and discovery. Working with our wonderful children is a true honour, and I am deeply grateful to the families who entrust us with their precious young ones.

Our mission is to nurture each child to become LEADERS in their learning and life, preparing them for the next phase of their life.

Our passionate team is wholeheartedly dedicated to making that vision a reality. I am constantly inspired by their commitment and enthusiasm, and together, we are creating an environment where every child can thrive and shine.

Thank you for being a part of our vibrant community!
