Roles & Responsibilities

As a parent of two children at Stoke Fleming I have a vested interest in helping to ensure that the school is performing to the highest standards. I want every child to achieve their full potential and I believe that this begins with the best possible grounding created in their primary school. The foundations that are built at primary school are the most important part of their school life. I believe that the education they receive at primary school can take a child all the way through secondary school, higher education, university and their adult life enabling them to work in whatever field they wish.
