"Where Autism is a strength and not a weakness"

Welcome

I feel extremely proud and privileged to be the Headteacher of The Lady Byron School and welcome you to our school website. Our school community makes it an exciting place to be, where children, parents and staff respect each other’s differences and celebrate our commonalities.

All staff have a shared vision and commitment to ensuring children at our school receive exciting learning opportunities, the knowledge and skills to adapt to the fast-changing world we live in. We want our children to be confident, respectful, resilient and inquisitive individuals.

I am passionate and committed to our school’s core values of being:

We provide a well-planned and engaging curriculum that is ambitious, it also provides the important personal, social and health and economic education that all children need to become well-rounded and positive global citizens of the future.

At the heart of our work at The Lady Byron School lies the uncompromising belief that all children, regardless of their experiences and backgrounds, have the right to reach their full potential, in an environment that enables them to flourish and ‘understand that barriers don’t have to limit their lives’.

As parents and carers, you have a vital role in the education of your children; we actively encourage close co-operation between home and school. I know you have high aspirations for your child’s educational achievements but also for their social and emotional needs. I look forward to developing a successful partnership that will support you in achieving this and help in making your child’s time at The Lady Byron both happy and successful.
