On behalf of Windsor Learning Partnership, Dedworth campus, governors and staff, I would like to thank you for your interest in working at Dedworth Middle School.  I am proud to be the Executive Headteacher here, having taken up the post in September 2020. My priority is to ensure Dedworth Middle School continues to aim to become an outstanding school where every child can achieve their full potential in their academic, creative, personal, physical and moral development.  Our focus is all about enabling children to ACHIEVE – to learn and make progress experiencing the highest quality teaching and learning within a happy, safe and secure environment. Happiness at school will lead to good progress and attainment and this is paramount to my vision.  We are on an amazing journey which was validated by Ofsted and Challenge Partners.  I feel so privileged to lead such an amazing team and am delighted that you are considering joining our wonderful school that I feel so passionate about.   

We are a middle school situated on the outskirts of Windsor with approximately 550 pupils; we educate pupils between years 5 and 8 and are one of the schools within The Windsor Learning Partnership. Our status as a middle school enables us to welcome applications from both primary and secondary trained colleagues alongside those with experience within a middle school. We can provide colleagues with opportunities to be involved in the education and development of both upper primary and lower secondary age children.

Dedworth Middle School is a successful school and we are very proud of the achievements of all our pupils and staff. We believe in building excellent relationships with all our stakeholders and are always committed to high standards. We have built on an established culture of aiming high, and always going the extra mile. Whilst we are very proud of some excellent and outstanding practice, we know that reports and results are only part of the story. We use inspection and monitoring reports to plan ahead and focus on what we need to improve: we are committed to proactively addressing any development areas and therefore driving the school onto bigger and better things. At Dedworth, we enjoy some excellent facilities in well-maintained grounds but people and ethos make a school, not buildings! We are a happy school who believe in offering excellent learning, teaching and leadership for all; pupils are at the very heart of everything we do here!
