Dear Parents and Carers,
I am writing to inform you of some changes in the leadership of The English Martyrs School and Sixth Form College.
After three years as Headteacher, Mrs Crawshaw has decided to step back from this role. She wishes everyone within the school and parish community the very best in the coming months and years. Her energy, drive and commitment has been relentless, and I would like to thank her for her most valuable service to the school and wider community and wish her all the best for her future endeavours.
Going forward, I am pleased to announce that Mrs Hogarth, who is currently Deputy Headteacher, will take on the role of Head of School from September 2024. Mrs Hogarth has worked at The English Martyrs for a number of years and has been instrumental in driving the school's improvement and development. She has a wealth of experience and expertise in teaching and learning, pastoral care, and curriculum design. She is also a strong advocate for our Catholic ethos and values. Mrs Hogarth will be closely supported by the central Bishop Hogarth Catholic Trust team, in particular by Mrs Hubbard Young, an experienced Catholic Headteacher who has previously led an outstanding secondary school.
I am confident that under their leadership, with your continued support, The English Martyrs School and Sixth Form will continue to go from strength to strength.
Yours sincerely,
Mr M Shorten
Chief Executive Officer
