Winsley CofE Primary School has welcomed Rosie Monks as its new Headteacher as the school begins the new academic year. Rosie joins Winsley with extensive experience in primary education and a commitment to helping children achieve academically while growing into confident, compassionate and successful young people.
She said, “I am incredibly proud to have joined Winsley CofE Primary School and become part of such a warm and welcoming community. Primary education is about so much more than academic success alone. It is about helping children discover who they are, develop confidence in their abilities and learn the values that will guide them throughout their lives.
“My ambition is for every child at Winsley to leave us not only with excellent foundations for the next stage of their education, but also as kind, conscientious and thoughtful citizens. We want our children to be inquisitive, to ask questions, to embrace new experiences and to develop a genuine love of learning that stays with them long after they leave our school.”
Rosie’s vision for the school centres on high expectations, strong relationships and a rich curriculum designed to inspire curiosity and creativity while helping pupils develop wisdom, kindness and courage.
She added, “Success looks different for every child. Our role is to help each pupil flourish, discover their strengths and understand the difference they can make. By nurturing curiosity, kindness and perseverance, we can equip children with the knowledge, skills and values they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.”
Chair of Governors Irina Mann said, “We are delighted to welcome Rosie into our school community. Her enthusiasm, experience and commitment to children’s education and wellbeing makes her a great fit for our school, and we are excited about the future.”
Winsley CofE Primary School says it will continue to encourage children to be ambitious in their learning, courageous in their thinking and compassionate in their actions as it begins the new school year under Rosie’s leadership.
