WELCOME FROM THE  HEAD OF ACADEMY

It is an absolute pleasure and privilege to introduce myself as the Head of Academy at Kingsbrook View. I am beyond excited for the journey ahead because it’s not every day that you are given the opportunity to lead and shape a brand-new Academy that will be at the forefront of inspiration and innovation.

I have been a teacher for many years and spent much of that time leading and influencing teaching and learning. I have been lucky enough to work in, and alongside, a number of schools and so I lead Kingsbrook View with a wealth of experience.

At my heart sits a passion for learning and a passion for children and young people to flourish. Why? Because they deserve it! Children, our future, deserve the best chances and at Kingsbrook View we nurture and encourage each and every individual child to reach their potential and give them the knowledge, skills and tools they need to thrive in life. That’s why we get to know and understand our children and have built a curriculum that is designed to inspire and meet the needs and interests of our learners.

I have high expectations both of myself and others and this goes hand in hand with being the best version of ourselves we can be. This way, we can all be highly aspirational and dream big.

Opportunity is really important to me because that’s exactly what education should do: open doors so that everyone can learn and aspire to reach for something great. It doesn’t matter who you are or what background you come from, if you are in the right environment, encouraged and supported by the right people, you can succeed. I am a parent and moreover I am human! One who understands that we just want what is right for our children and our families. I am honest and open and have created a culture of integrity amongst everyone who is involved in Kingsbrook View.

To all the parents, carers and pupils reading this I am thrilled that you have chosen Kingsbrook View, so a warm welcome to you and I really look forward to getting to know each and every one of you. Starting a new school can be daunting for children and parents so we make sure the experience is positive and calm. It’s not my style to sit at a desk all day because I cherish opportunities to roll my sleeves up and get involved. You will most certainly see me around!

Every member of the Kingsbrook View community is respected and the safety and well-being of all is a priority. I value community and working collaboratively and it is my desire for Kingsbrook View to represent the community it serves and for the community to be proud of us. I am not a lone worker and I have a fantastic, dedicated team who share the Academy’s vision and appetite for lifelong learning. This is because learning is valuable and powerful, and learning is even stronger when we all do it together. Therefore, the ethos and vision for Kingsbrook View culminates in our motto:

Growing Together to Achieve Dreams

The Academy's team are driven to reach high standards in everything they do and this is further embedded through our successful relationships with parents, the local community and the other academies in the Inspiring Futures Partnership Trust.

I very much look forward to you joining me on this journey that will make Kingsbrook View a happy and exciting place to learn and work.

Mr Jon Turner

Head of Academy
