Plans for the Norton Hill Primary School have taken a big step forward this week, with the appointment of Sharon Wiseman as Chair of Governors of the new school. She is currently Chair of Governors at High Littleton School, rated by OFSTED as ‘outstanding’, and has herself worked in education for over twenty years.
Mrs Wiseman, whose three children all attended local schools, told us: “I am delighted to be part of this exciting project. The new Norton Hill Primary School will be a friendly, welcoming place, where children have the confidence to do their best in every way.
“I am looking forward to meeting all the parents and children as we get ready to open the school. We know that the Government is working hard to secure a site, and we can’t wait to be involved in the design of a brand new state-of-the-art building.
“Our next task is to advertise for a new Head Teacher and this is a fantastic opportunity for a really talented Head to help make our school a special place to learn.
“We are already talking to prospective parents who have registered on the website and want to take time to listen to their hopes and ideas for the future. We can already tell that they share our excitement about the new school”.
The Norton Hill Primary School will open in September 2017 and was proposed by the Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership (MNSP) to make sure that with 2,500 homes being built in the area, there are enough places for every child, as well as a choice of high quality schools for parents in the area.
