Welcome back to a new term at Great Ballard. Some of you will be arriving for the first time while others will be returning to a familiar place, but for everyone there will be new classrooms, new teachers and new things to learn. This is the start of my second year at Great Ballard, for me the school has been extremely welcoming and a great adventure. Here at Great Ballard, you will find that you will not only learn academically but will also learn skills for life. My team and I will be there to support you if you are feeling unsettled about the new school year. Don’t be nervous, and I Iook forward to seeing everyone soon!
