Mr Logue
Headteacher
I am an experienced Headteacher and previously an Executive Headteacher, with a proven track record of school improvement. I have led a school to consecutive Outstanding Ofsted judgements and successfully supported several schools out of Special Measures
I also served as an Ofsted inspector for 10 years, giving me extensive experience in all major aspects of secondary schools.
I enjoy leading school communities, and my drive is 2-fold. Firstly, I want to ensure that all children achieve their full potential and attend a school where they feel safe and a sense of belonging. Secondly, I love seeing staff grow and develop under my leadership. I am relentless in my pursuit of excellence. As a parent of two children myself, I know the importance of a great holistic education for their futures.Â
