Head steps down after 4 years
Jean Watt, the headteacher at Ormiston Meadows Academy is to step down later this year.
She has spent four years at the school taking it on a journey of significant improvement and success.
Most recently, and reflective of Mrs Watt’s unwavering drive and commitment to raise standards ever higher at the school, Ormiston Meadows Academy achieved a Good Ofsted rating in December 2018.
In the report, inspectors praised the effective leadership team for their tireless work and “drive” to ensure that the school has continually improved since its last inspection in September 2016. Inspectors also recognised the improvement in outcomes for pupils, with pupils making strong progress from all starting points and achievement improving “consistently” since the last inspection to “the highest outcomes yet in 2018”.
The academy has now launched a recruitment process to appoint a new principal, who will take up the role at the beginning of the next academic year.
Mrs Watt, said: “I have been privileged to serve as Principal of Ormiston Meadows Academy for the last four years, and I will leave with so many incredibly fond memories of my time here. It has been both a pleasure and a privilege to lead the school through its development, and for it now to be the high-achieving, positive learning environment that it is today.
“With the support of our committed and highly professional staff, and our outstanding leadership team, my time at Meadows has been immeasurably exciting and rewarding.”
