He is fully committed to providing the best possible education for students, as well as continuing to develop our successful School and Trust. Indeed, these are all the qualities and characteristics that we would want from our Headteacher. I am sure that you will join us in congratulating him on his appointment. I am confident that you will support him as he leads the school into a new and exciting future.
We asked Phil to share a few words in response to his appointment. He says “‘I am absolutely delighted to be joining FCC, it will be sad leaving my current school because there is such an emotional investment when you work in schools. However, I knew from my first visit that FCC was a place where I fitted and I was so impressed with the students and staff.”
We are hugely grateful to Mr Proffitt for his leadership and dedication to FCC, and wish him a very happy retirement. Mr Proffitt and Mr Bevan will work closely together over the next few months to ensure a seamless transition.
