New Head Teacher Appointed

As you are aware, Head of School, Amy Findlay will be leaving Cherry Oak at Christmas time after many years of wonderful service as Teacher, Assistant Head and Head of School. She will be greatly missed and we thank her for everything she has done for Cherry Oak and wish her all the best in her new role.

Since July, we have been recruiting for a new Head Teacher to lead the school from January 2021. I am delighted to announce that Ross Ashcroft has been appointed, (subject to pre-employment checks) to take up post in the Spring Term.

Ross is looking forward to meeting pupils, staff and families and is planning to make a number of visits to Cherry Oak during November and December. We welcome him to the school and look forward to working with him to build the vision for outstanding education for the pupils of Cherry Oak School.

Come and meet the staff at our school
