Neil Sykes
Principal (Ex-officio)
Appointed Principal with effect from 1st July 2018, having previously been employed as a consultant through OHCAT to support Academy improvement and leadership within the Multi Academy Trust.
I qualified as a Physical Education teacher in 1978 and following a successful career progressed into school leadership, gaining an MA (1997) and completing the National Professional Qualification for Headteachers in 2001.
Working with young people all of my professional career has been a privilege and the wealth of experience is now very much focussed on ensuring all pupils at Arbour Vale School make excellent progress in their learning and develop important communication and independent life skills that will enable them to transition beyond school. Every child’s safety and well-being is a priority.
