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.

All the staff are just amazing at understanding all the very different needs of each of the children and working with them to improve, develop and grow. The thought that goes into how the school is run, the activities you do with the children is amazing. We are so grateful to everyone at Headstart, this is a very special place, it's very hard to put into words how wonderful you are, and we are so thankful that Michael is on his journey with you
