Headteacher's Welcome

At Cornelius Vermuyden, we believe that school should be a place where every child feels they belong—where they are valued, challenged, and supported to grow. 

At the heart of our work is a clear ambition: that every young person leaves us proud of who they are and prepared for the future. That means excellent teaching and high expectations—but also compassion, encouragement, and the right support at the right time.

We have developed a broad and balanced curriculum that opens doors and reflects the diversity of the world our pupils are growing up in. It is inclusive, ambitious and accessible—designed so that every learner, whatever their starting point, can engage, succeed and thrive.

Beyond the classroom, we want pupils to explore their interests, find their voice, and grow in confidence. We offer opportunities for every child to discover what excites them, build lasting friendships, and develop into confident, reflective young people.

As a SEEAT school, we share the values of Spirit, Effort, Enrichment, Aspiration and Teamwork. These values guide how we work, how we support one another, and how we shape the culture of our school.

At Cornelius Vermuyden, we are proud of the journey we are on. With strong foundations and a clear sense of purpose, we are building a school our whole community can be proud of.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to Cornelius Vermuyden School.
