I am honoured and delighted to join this wonderful school community and to serve as your Headteacher. Acacia Academy is a place where learning begins with curiosity, and every child is encouraged to explore ideas, ask questions, and grow in confidence and capability.
With over 20 years’ experience in the education sector, from prestigious boarding schools in the UK to my most recent role as Head of Student Wellbeing and Director of Sport at Kamuzu Academy, I am deeply committed to holistic education—where academic achievement goes hand-in-hand with emotional wellbeing, character development, and a love of learning.
At Acacia Academy, we believe that education is a partnership between school and family. Together, we will strive to provide a nurturing, supportive, and stimulating environment that enables every child to thrive academically, socially, and personally. I value open communication and look forward to working closely with parents, staff, and the wider community to support the unique strengths and needs of each student.
Our goal is to inspire curiosity and innovation, to build strong foundations for future learning, and to help your child develop the confidence and skills they need to succeed in an ever-changing world. I am excited about the journey ahead, and I feel privileged to be part of it.
Thank you for the trust you place in Acacia Academy. I look forward to meeting you and your children, and to sharing in their achievements both inside and outside the classroom.
Warm regards,
Treating others with kindness, consideration and dignity
Taking ownership of actions, duties and learning

The teachers are not only highly qualified but also demonstrate a genuine care for each child's individual growth.
As a parent of a child with special needs, I am beyond grateful for how this school has embraced and supported my son.
We have found Acacia Academy a really welcoming, supportive and nurturing environment for our son.
