Following a robust and rigorous recruitment and selection process, including three days of interviews, I am delighted to announce the appointment of Daniel Roberts to the post of Headteacher of Devonport High School for Boys from September 2015.

Congratulations to the school community in making their decision about my successor. From a strong set of applications we interviewed five credible candidates and everyone involved was thoroughly tested.

The appointment of Dan Roberts is one that I whole-heartedly support and I wish him and the school every success next year.

Whole School Assembly

On Wednesday I promised to share the slides from my whole school assembly and the links to the videos I showed.

I was pleading for a balance between the virtual and natural world whilst extolling the exciting virtues of both in our school culture.

We have also met with our partners from Sweden. Ms Davidson said, “Although this was our last group of visiting teachers involved in the Comenius Regio project, our Physics department is soon to be embarking on a new project with our colleagues in Sweden involving students and teams at CERN: the European organisation for nuclear Research, physicists and engineers.”
