" Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life."

I am passionate about being the headteacher at Berkswich CE Primary. Our school is a happy and thriving Church school, firmly rooted in our community. Supported by dedicated, highly skilled teaching staff and governors, there is an unwavering drive towards every child being a self-reflective, caring individual who strives to be the best in all that they do.

We embrace mistakes as part of the learning process to ensure that children leave Berkswich as persistently determined learners. Our pupils delight in life-long learning and are prepared for the ever-changing world.

At Berkswich CE, diversity is celebrated; every child is cherished for their uniqueness. Our commitment to kindness and inclusivity is the foundation upon which we build an environment that fosters learning, understanding, care, and respect for others.

Our strong set of Christian values underpin all aspects of school life.

We believe that children should be compassionate team players who consider the needs of others; raising awareness through charity work, protecting and improving the environment, and planning for their future careers and aspirations in later life.

We encourage children to explore beliefs that inform their perspective on life and their interest in and respect for different people’s feelings and values. Pupils have a sense of enjoyment and fascination in learning about themselves, others, and the world around them, including the intangible. We see school as a place to develop imagination and embrace creativity for all children with a willingness to reflect on their experiences.

Our nurturing, inclusive environment supports all aspects of a child's life. We promote ways to stay healthy through our vast range of sporting activities and by providing emotional support and well-being strategies to ensure the happiness and health of all our children, particularly those who are vulnerable.

We encourage our children to be responsible leaders of the future who embrace challenge, seek endless opportunities, and demonstrate perseverance in all aspects of life, developing initiative and tenacity through problem-solving.

We are delighted, once again, to be named in The Times Top Schools within England 2024; ranking 26th in the West Midlands and within the top 500 state primary schools nationally.
