Headteacher's Welcome

I am proud to be Headteacher of Fitzharrys School. It is an excellent school where students thrive and succeed. Key to this success is our ethos: Aspiration, Opportunity, Integrity, which runs through the education our students receive. 

Aspiration comes through high expectations in every lesson, with students challenged to achieve their very best, and expert support to help them reach their potential.  

Opportunity is provided through a broad curriculum, and a range of extra and super-curricular activities. At Fitzharrys, we know that the best opportunity is a fantastic education in lessons, allied with a wide range of clubs, trips, and events that broaden horizons and spark new interests. 

Integrity is developed through a focus on building truthful, positive, kind, and empathetic young people. Students at Fitzharrys work on developing their character and resilience, so that they understand how to be a positive contributor to the school community, and wider society. 

These values are embodied by our staff: our teachers are passionate experts who deliver high quality lessons on a daily basis; our pastoral team are caring and vigilant in their work with Fitzharrys students, all ably support by our superb wider-workforce colleagues. 

We have created a warm and positive learning environment which is rooted in high expectations. This is evident in our consistently positive examination outcomes, glowing Ofsted report, good attendance, strong behaviour for learning, and the feedback we receive from current students and their parents. 

I recommend viewing our social media pages and events calendar to get a sense of what our students achieve and the opportunities they have; we are incredibly proud of what our students accomplish from year 7 through to year 13. 

The best way to gain further understanding of Fitzharrys is by coming to visit us. Meeting our staff and students will give you a real insight into what our great school has to offer. Please do contact us to book an appointment. We look forward to meeting you soon. 

Best wishes,

Will Speke
