Headteacher Emma Cooper joined the school earlier this month, bringing with her over 25 years of experience in education.
Formerly Deputy Head at The Mendip School, a Special School near Shepton Mallet, she is now leading the team at Roundhill alongside newly appointed Deputy Head Teacher, Richard Welsh and Vicky Heslop, SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator).
Emma said: “I’m thrilled to be Headteacher for Roundhill, and am excited about all the opportunities this academic year will bring.
“Together we are committed to providing an inclusive and nurturing school, where all children are fully included and ready for their next steps in education and life beyond school.
“I’m looking forward to meeting parents and carers who are thinking about applying for a place at Roundhill this September.
“Our first Open Day is on Tuesday 7th October, 4.30-5.30pm and I’d love to say ‘hello’.”
Roundhill Primary School is one of 17 schools supported by The Partnership Trust, a Multi Academy Trust of primary, first and special schools across Bath and Somerset.
Emma Cooper’s previous school, The Mendip School, is also a member of the Trust.
Emily Massey, CEO of The Partnership Trust, said: “One of the great benefits of being part of a Multi-Academy Trust is watching colleagues develop their careers and progress within our family of schools.
“I’m delighted that Emma will be staying with the Trust as she takes on the Headship at Roundhill, so even more pupils can benefit from her outstanding skills and commitment to ensure every child receives the very best education.”
