Dear families

We are Tiverton High School, a vibrant and inclusive community committed to working hard, showing kindness and a strong sense of belonging. 

I am incredibly proud to be the Headteacher of Tiverton High School, a wonderful inclusive secondary school in the beautiful town of Tiverton and at the heart of its community. My team and I do not underestimate the responsibility that we have to educate and care for our young people so that they can thrive and achieve great things. The safety and well-being of every child in our care is our highest priority. We are committed to creating a nurturing and secure environment where all students feel valued, respected and supported. Safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do, and we work tirelessly to ensure that our school is a safe place for learning, growth and development.

We are extremely proud of our students’ achievements and the role that we play within our community. We believe education should empower young people and equip them to understand the world and develop into individuals who make positive contributions to society. Achieving this requires us having high expectations of our students, a knowledge rich curriculum, high quality teaching and an ambitious personal development programme. All of which fosters independent thinking and is built around what they must know, understand, and accomplish to lead happy, successful lives. 

Our vision is for every student to embrace hard work, kindness, and a sense of belonging. This is reflected in our core priorities: a culture of high expectations in our classrooms, corridors and community, inclusive, high-quality teaching that supports every student’s progress, helping them feel safe, connected, and confident in their learning. 

Our mission is to empower students with knowledge so they can lead fulfilling lives and contribute to a better world. 

Tiverton High School is on a journey of rapid and sustained improvement, driven by a strong, shared vision. We are building a school culture defined by positivity, high expectations, and kindness. By embedding clear system and routines, consistently modelling kindness, we aim to make these expectations part of everyday life across the school. 

Everyone in our community plays a vital role in shaping this culture by living our values every day.
