From the Principal

It is my absolute privilege to be principal of Oriel Academy, West London 

We are at the heart of a diverse community our children and families arrive here every day, bringing a variety of traits, attitudes and ideas.

This diversity is our strength.

We believe that each of us needs a sense of dignity, pride and satisfaction in what we do. Because tending to our children depends on the united efforts of many, we are most effective when we work together co-operatively, respecting each other’s contribution and importance.

Individually, we must find the heart to serve, and the courage to take things forward; collectively, we must support yet challenge each other to always do better.

This is what our children deserve.

I am awed by the resilience, care and expertise our young people display on a daily basis- and it is those same qualities that our staff bring in spades to make the difference for all of our children here in school.

To lead is to inspire people to inspire themselves, and I am thrilled to be the leader of a dynamic school that is constantly striving for new, creative ways to improve our provision- and that’s no less than our community warrants.

Thank you for your continued support and for choosing Oriel for your child: it is greatly appreciated by all of the Oriel Academy team, and all the motivation we need to empower the future generations so as to live expressive, fulfilling and productive lives.
