Norfolk House’s values and aims are ones that resonate profoundly with me. Those who teach the youngest need to be the most far-sighted and my overriding aim will be to ensure that Norfolk House provides pupils with the skills, knowledge and understanding that will most advantage them in the world in which they will grow up. I am eager to join you all on this journey and I look forward to getting to know you all in the months and years ahead”.
