Message from the Acting Principal

As Acting Principal I am committed to building upon the progress that Phoenix has made towards providing an outstanding educational experience for all students. We will continue to develop confident and aspirational learners, who excel in their academic, personal and social development.

I believe every child really does matter and that all of our students should feel safe, happy and secure in an environment where they can strive for success and enjoy their learning.

Our priority however is clear; every pupil must be effectively challenged and supported to maximize their achievement and to make the very best progress possible. All of our pupils must receive a challenging and appropriate curriculum, with high quality teaching in a calm, well-ordered learning environment. We aim to ensure that they achieve their potential and gain the most relevant qualifications possible; giving them the very best platform possible to secure a bright future.

I believe in the importance of developing well rounded individuals with sound morals and values, ready to make positive contributions to their local and wider communities. Fundamental to my philosophy is a commitment to raise the aspirations of young people whilst equipping them with the knowledge, skills and qualities to help them achieve more than they even dreamed possible.

Mr Steve Carter
Acting Principal
