Headteacher's Welcome

Welcome, prospective parents, to Teddington School. I am immensely proud to be the Headteacher, and it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to a section of our website dedicated entirely to our Open Events.

As parents of Year 5 and 6 students, I am sure you feel that you are faced with a significant decision. Choosing a secondary school for any child is an important choice. As you begin consider Teddington and prepare yourselves to visit us in October I would ask you to consider three questions:

1. Is your child going to be happy at Teddington?
2. Can we ensure that your child receives a first-class education?
3. Are we going to offer a broad range of opportunities and experiences that stretch their learning both in and out of the classroom?

I am confident that by browsing our website and visiting our school, both during our Open Evening on 11th October and subsequent Open Mornings, you will find the answer to all three of those questions is a resounding 'Yes!'.

We are striving to continually improve and pride ourselves on three core values: 'Inclusion, Opportunity, Excellence'. We are driven to establish ourselves as the 'School of choice' within our local community, a school that everyone can be proud of. Within that, we want to ensure that our school is inclusive of everyone in our community. This is something we take great pride in.

I look forward to meeting you all in person over the coming weeks and am genuinely excited about what lies ahead at Teddington. Our 2021 'Good' Ofsted judgment was merely the beginning of our journey.

Mr P Grills

Headteacher
