A Message From The Headteacher
I am immensely proud to be the Headteacher of Welshpool High School.
Every day I have a genuine feeling of excitement about being able to see our learners flourish and grow through the outstanding learning experiences that they take part in. I also take great pleasure in talking with learners both in lessons and in social time to constantly assess their mood and plan future developments in the school.
The positive outcomes that our learners achieve in their examinations is testimony to their hard work, the support of their families and carers, and also the dedication of the fabulous staff in the school.
We use the phrase ‘Raising Achievement by Raising Expectations’ in school all the time. We place a high value on the work ethic, manners and politeness of all learners and we expect them to play a positive part in our school community.
It is important to me that students have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities, and I can often be found watching from the sidelines as our school teams take part in sports fixtures, or in the front row as we host another musical event.
There is palpable optimism in our school and its community. A feeling that we are part of a successful and welcoming team.
Mr Jon Arnold – Headteacher
