Welcome to Garstang Community Academy

Dear Parent and prospective parent,

As I previously mentioned to you all, last Wednesday and Thursday we interviewed four candidates to be our Headteacher from January. We took through three candidates to the Thursday and a panel consisting of Chair of Governors, CEO, Director Education, Director Primary and former Executive Headteacher of Garstang all unanimously agreed to appoint Satinder Singh.

Satinder is a very experienced senior leader, currently Deputy Headteacher at Derby High School in Bury , which gets excellent progress figures. He is clearly an expert in the Curriculum and Teaching and Learning, but has also conducted a Behaviour review at his school. He came across as a man of integrity, a local man from Preston wanting to make a difference to a local school and a man of great energy and resilience. 

I will look forward to being Executive Headteacher from January and working alongside Mr Singh as Headteacher in moving the school forward. We are going to see if there is an evening in the coming weeks where Mr Singh can introduce himself both to prospective parents and parents who are already at GCA

Yours in partnership,

Sean M Bullen

Interim Headteacher
