Excellence Together
Hello. My name is Ethan Roberts and I am very proud to be the new Headteacher at Meopham School. I warmly welcome you to take a look at some of the amazing things that are happening in our wonderful school community.
I know there is nothing more important to you than your child’s welfare and their future. This is why, as a school, we take this responsibility incredibly seriously, and do all we can to ensure our children go on to lead successful and happy lives. Students get one shot at education and we intend to get it right.
Meopham School is a warm and fully-inclusive community set in the beautiful rural setting of the historic village of Meopham. At Meopham School, we strive to ensure all young people are nurtured to become aspirational and resilient in all areas of life. Students are encouraged to become responsible, confident and articulate young adults who go on to successful futures.
Meopham School is on the brink of an incredible journey, with our new £9M building having just been opened, offering eight new English classrooms, a Photography lab, a DT and Art suite and a fully equipped Performing Arts studio. We are also in the midst of an extensive self-evaluation of all aspects of school life, in order to develop a new vision for the school’s future and an innovative School Improvement Plan. Alongside the dedicated and professional staff I am fortunate enough to call my colleagues, we are going to deliver a fantastic education to all our young people.
I am a keen believer that schools thrive when there are high standards and high expectations in every aspect of school life, whether that be the quality of the lessons, the professionalism of the staff or the conduct of the students. A school is a place that should deliver outstanding learning, but it is also much more than that. We are a community; the success of a young person depends on parents, carers, staff, governors and students all working together, as a team, because we all believe in the same cause: providing the excellent education that every child deserves.
Further to this, I am sure you will agree that every child deserves to learn in a calm, orderly and purposeful environment. Our role as educators is to show care and compassion to our students. Sometimes, this comes in the form of holding students to high standards and ensuring these standards are consistently met. Will our young people sometimes get it wrong? Of course they will; we are all human. However, the important thing when you get something wrong is that you learn from it, and your behaviour changes as a result. We will have no qualms about holding to these high standards – because your children are worth it.
It is a real privilege to lead our school and I warmly invite you to come along and see for yourself. We will be offering tours to current Year 6 students from 14th to 24th of October. We will update our website soon with details on how to book on to these tours. For students in other year groups interested in the school, please contact mss-admissions@swale.at
