Welcome from the Executive Headteacher

Scott Fasciolo-Barnes leads Headstart with warmth, experience, and a clear vision for every child to succeed. His commitment to nurturing, inclusive education, combined with a strong focus on outdoor learning and real-world skills, is at the heart of everything we do.

Communication with parents is excellent, with daily feedback that helps us work together to support his development. Since starting, XF confidence has grown significantly, he has made friends, and he especially enjoys being part of the school community which he has never experienced from his previous school.
