As I mark my first year as Headteacher, I am delighted to share the progress we’ve made together and to reaffirm my excitement about leading our exceptional school.

One of our significant achievements has been establishing a robust split-site provision model. Our Stafford Hall site now supports students working up to Functional Skills Level 2, while our Amisfield House site focuses on students following the Engagement Model, offering specialized support for those with significant communication needs. 

As we move forward, my primary goal remains to build upon the outstanding work already in place. Together with our talented staff, I am dedicated to making Stafford Hall School a center of excellence where every student’s holistic development is at the forefront. Our approach will continue to be grounded in collaboration and open communication with both our residential and clinical teams, as well as strengthening partnerships with parents, carers, and local authorities. By working together, we can create an environment that not only meets but exceeds expectations, empowering every student to reach their fullest potential.

I look forward to continuing to work with each of you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any thoughts, ideas, or questions. Together, we will continue to make Stafford Hall School a place of exceptional learning and growth.

Warmest regards,

Adam Medlock, Headteacher
