performance in further areas<br />

of the curriculum. I will launch<br />

a new robust approach to<br />

monitoring, assessment<br />

reporting and tracking that<br />

supports form tutors in their<br />

understanding of boys’ progress<br />

and provides parents with the<br />

clarity and guidance they need<br />

to help children at home. We will<br />

continue to work with parents<br />

in open and honest discussion<br />

about boys’ progress and<br />

attainment and action support<br />

and challenge for their next<br />

steps to learning. Attainment<br />

won’t be capped through age<br />

range or setting, but instead<br />

boys will be challenged to take<br />

the next step in their learning<br />

journey regardless of starting<br />

point or current achievement.<br />

One of the most important<br />

elements to our success - will<br />

be to continue to listen the<br />

boys’ feedback and work with<br />

them to continue to design<br />

learning experiences that inspire<br />

them. And we will achieve this<br />

through an increase in form tutor<br />

time, headmaster breakfasts,<br />

continued school council<br />

meetings, house meetings, and<br />

our voice of the student survey.<br />

Pupil voice really matters. In<br />

my 16 years of education I<br />

can guarantee two things:<br />

1. Children will always surprise<br />

you by what they can achieve.<br />

So we should aim high!<br />

&<br />

2. Children will make the most<br />

progress when they feel<br />

happy, appreciated and safe<br />

in their learning environment.<br />

At Cumnor House this will be<br />

our future, one where we as a<br />

school community work together<br />

as parents, staff, and students.<br />

Headmaster<br />
