Year 9 Manager

Mr Barrow, Year Manager

My name is Mr Barrow and I am the Year Manager for Year 9.

Welcome to Year 9

I lead the day-to-day running of Year 9 and am always available to support learners with any concerns, challenges or successes they may experience.

My priority is to create a positive and ambitious year-group culture in which every learner feels supported, valued and encouraged to achieve their full potential. This includes promoting excellent attendance, positive behaviour, strong academic progress and high standards both inside and outside the classroom.

I am passionate about ensuring every learner progresses into Key Stage 4 equipped with the skills, confidence and knowledge needed to be as successful as possible in their GCSE subjects.

I also believe it is important to recognise and celebrate learners’ achievements, whether these are academic, personal or extracurricular.

Open communication is essential, and I welcome contact from parents and carers. By working together, we can provide a consistent and well-rounded approach, with the learner at the heart of every decision.

If you have any questions or would like any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me in school.
