Alison Smith: Assistant Headteacher, Access & Inclusion

Alison Smith joined us in September 2020 in the brand new role of Assistant Headteacher for Access and Inclusion.

Alison started her teaching career as a primary teacher, first in the East Midlands and then in Oldham, moving on to a specialist teaching role supporting vulnerable children and young people with social, emotional and behaviour difficulties, eventually leading the Bradford LA Specialist Teaching Team. Most recently Alison led a designated specialist SEND provision in a Beckfoot Trust secondary school.

Alison is delighted to join the school at an exciting time, working with the team to further develop provision to support vulnerable students towards our goal of ensuring that all have opportunity to reach their potential.
