Meet the Head, Mr Emms
Dear Parents and Carers,
It gives me great pleasure to introduce myself as the Headteacher of Farthinghoe Primary School. I am a parent of two lovely boys. As a parent my goal has always been to ensure my children are happy in life and achieve their potential. This is the philosophy I bring in my role as Headteacher. My goal is to ensure all children who attend Farthinghoe are happy and provided with all the necessary opportunities to be the best they can be both socially and academically.
I have worked in education for over 20 years and as a Headteacher for 9 years, in a small village primary school like Farthinghoe. At Farthinghoe we have a hugely committed and talented staff team, and of course wonderful children. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with the children, parents and staff and I believe building strong relationships is the most important thing for any school to thrive.
The needs of our children are always paramount in the life and decision making within a school. I strongly believe in providing our children with exciting, creative and meaningful learning experiences, which build their enthusiasm for learning and help them to grow and develop positively in a variety of ways. I think it is crucial to involve our children and their families as partners in their education. I am also keen on building a whole school community which thrives on mutual respect and values positive relationships. I know how vital working in partnership with parents really is in order for children to find school a positive and rewarding experience. As the key educator in your children’s lives, I feel that it is important that you have a voice and that as a school we are approachable and allocate time to listen to your concerns, worries or thoughts about our school.
I welcome you to visit our school, meet the wonderful staff, see the school in action and get a real sense of what makes Farthinghoe such a special place.

At Farthinghoe Primary School, we are all strongly committed to creating a community within which all children are fully supported to fulfil their potential both academically and personally.
I have had the pleasure and privilege of leading schools within the Warriner Trust for a number of years, both in my previous role as Headteacher and more recently as Executive Headteacher. Having recently joined Farthinghoe, as Executive Headteacher, I am excited to be part of the leadership team in a primary school where children are at the heart of everything and are challenged to be their best! I hope that as you explore our website, you get a flavour of this unique culture and feel that our school is one where your child can flourish. Dr Annabel Kay CEO of the Warriner Multi Academy Trust |
