Co-headteachers' Welcome
Our names are Su Carey and Faye Poynter. We are the Co-headteachers of West Berry Federation. As a staff our shared vision is for every child to become a successful, independent, resilient, lifelong learner and a responsible member of the community. We aim to teach life skills to enable our children to not only achieve at school, but beyond.
We are always happy for people to come and visit our schools, just call the office to make an appointment.
