Wightwick Hall School

06 June 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope this letter finds you and your family well.

I am writing to introduce myself as the new Headteacher of Wightwick Hall School, starting in September 2025. It is an absolute privilege to be joining such a unique and inspiring school community, and I am both excited and passionate about the journey ahead.

Wightwick Hall School is a place where young people are supported to thrive, achieve and develop the skills they need to lead successful, independent lives. I am committed to building on the strong foundations already in place and ensuring that the school continues to be a nurturing, aspirational and inclusive environment – one where every student is ready to learn, respectful in their relationships, and safe in all they do. These values will remain at the heart of our work together as we prepare our students for adulthood.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to Mrs Gail Brindley and her dedicated team from Two Rivers High School, who have provided stability, care and guidance over the past few months. Their commitment to curriculum development, consistency and wellbeing has made a lasting impact, and their work has been truly valued by staff, students and families alike.

I would also like to acknowledge the excellent work of Mr Nick Brown, who stepped into the role of Assistant Headteacher on a temporary basis. Nick has thrived in this position and shown real strength in leadership, supporting both staff and students with dedication and enthusiasm. His contribution has been outstanding.

September marks a new chapter for Wightwick Hall School – one full of potential and promise. I am deeply committed to working in partnership with you, the staff and the wider community to ensure our students are empowered to flourish both within and beyond the classroom.

I look forward to meeting many of you in person in the new academic year and to working together in the best interests of your child.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Alex Steer

Headteacher
Wightwick Hall School
