What a stunning message from Rory Steyn (@NelsonMandela) Head of Security about Learning and Reconciliation. @wilmingtonboys were privileged to listen. Thank you.
It’s been a total privilege to serve @DartfordGS for 12 years. Now onto the next challenge…I can’t wait to work with the staff, students and parents of @wilmingtonboys from September.
A bit more detail on the DGS IB Diploma results: average point score was 38.8 (best ever), 60% of students scored 38 or more (best ever) and 12 students scored 45points (best ever).
The school is not mine. It was there before I was born, hopefully it will be there long-after I’ve gone. My job is to make it the best school it can be and to leave it in a better place than I found it.
A headteacher is a custodian. What we do should be for our communities.
Thank you to Sharon Stirman at
