Headteacher's Welcome

I am immensely proud to be the Headteacher at Teddington School and it gives me great pleasure to welcome to you to our school. I am delighted at the prospect of your child joining our community for their secondary education.  

At Teddington, we ensure that the educational experience every child receives is first class. We firmly believe that every child is entitled to an excellent educational experience, which offers breadth of curriculum, academic rigour, opportunity, and enables students to leave equipped with the skills to succeed in whichever future pathway they choose in their adult lives. 

In choosing Teddington, we will ensure that your child feels safe, confident and academically challenged every day. Upon stepping into our modern and attractive campus, you will find a supportive yet vibrant environment through which we nurture confident, ambitious students who embrace community, tolerance and have high aspirations. We are committed to excellence and pride ourselves on the fundamental principle that teachers have the right to teach and students have the right to learn. In upholding this principle, we ensure that we get the best out of every student whatever their talent maybe. 

Guided by the support of the Bourne Education Trust, our school has made rapid improvements in recent years. All staff at Teddington maintain the highest standards, have a positive outlook, are inventive in their thinking and adopt a ‘can-do’ approach. We were judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted in November 2021 and are looking to the future as we work with the whole community and strive for even greater success. 

The Governors and I are sure that after reading our prospectus, attending our open events and visiting us during the school day, you will agree that our recent ‘Good’ judgement is merely the beginning of our journey; we are striving for excellence every day and would love you to be part of the next chapter at Teddington.
