I am really pleased to let you know that, after a rigorous selection process, Mrs. Lucy Wheatcroft has been appointed as Headteacher of All Saints from 1st September 2025.

Mrs. Wheatcroft was an exceptional candidate in a very strong and experienced field; the recruitment panel was particularly impressed with her strategic thinking; deep understanding of inclusion; compassion and kindness; and her strong ambition for pupils, families and staff at All Saints. Trustees and governors are confident that, under her leadership, All Saints will continue to grow from strength to strength.

More details about the wider leadership structure from September will follow as soon as these arrangements are confirmed. I know that, in the meantime, you will want to join me in congratulating Mrs. Wheatcroft on her appointment. All involved with Ridgeway Education Trust express our deep gratitude to Mr. Myers for all he has achieved during his years as headteacher. Many thanks for your ongoing support during the Headteacher selection process.

Paul Shaughnessy, RET Director of Primary Education
