Welcome to Sponne School
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Sponne School website.
Our motto is to Dream, Believe, Achieve and all that we do is aimed at enabling our young people to reach their goals. This was inspired by a previous student, Tom Hollick who passed away just before his GCSE exams in 2017 but has left a legacy with us of a commitment to high aspirations and being inclusive of everyone in our community. We strive to enable students to believe in their potential futures, to be proud of what they do and to show respect to others. This enables us all to be motivated to achieve our dreams whilst celebrating achievements across the school.
I feel very privileged to be Headteacher at Sponne School. We pride ourselves on the positive relationships that exist between staff and students and the high quality teaching that our young people receive. None of this could be achieved without parental support and we recognise how lucky we are in our community in this regard. Alongside the academic learning for our young people it is vital that their wellbeing is supported and this is a real strength at Sponne.
I look forward to continuing to work in partnership with our parents and with the established network of schools in the Tove Learning Trust. I have no doubt that the long established collaborative working practices will continue to enable our students to achieve their dreams
