I can now confirm that I am moving on to another headship at the end of the summer term.

With effect from September 1, 2015 I will take up the post of executive principal at Thorp Academy in Gateshead.

May I take this opportunity to thank everyone who is part of the Marden High School family for their support and encouragement over the past four years. With such brilliant staff, students and community support, as well as the imminent construction of a brand new school, I am certain that Marden will   thrive and will continue to  secure its place as one of the best schools in the north east.
