Our Leadership Team

Mr N Blackburn
Head Teacher
Welcome to Griffithstown Primary School. We are delighted that you chose this school for your child.  We are confident that their time here will be happy and rewarding.

Our mission statement is ‘Inspire, Challenge, Achieve’. I recognise the tremendous opportunity we have to work in partnership to ensure that your child reaches their full potential and develops a love of learning that continues as a lifelong skill.

Communicating with parents, carers or guardians is a key priority. Twitter, texts, newsletters, reports, open days, consultations, visits, special events and an ‘open door’ policy all support the development of a healthy and productive home-school partnership.

I look forward to meeting with you on many occasions in the future and wish you to know that parents, carers or guardians are invited to contact school about any issues of concern at any time.

Cofion,
Mrs C Pugh

Our HALO Code
Our school champions the right of staff and students to embrace all Afro-hairstyles. We acknowledge that Afro-textured hair is an important part of our Black staff and students’ racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious identities, and requires specific styling for hair health and maintenance. We welcome Afro-textured hair worn in all styles including, but not limited to, afros, locs, twists, braids, cornrows, fades, hair straightened through the application of heat or chemicals, weaves, wigs, headscarves,and wraps. At this school, we recognise and celebrate our staff and students’ identities. We are a community built on an ethos of equality and respect where hair texture and style have no bearing on anyone's ability to succeed.
