Helen Bebbington - Principal The Meadows Primary School

Helen is the Principal of The Meadows Primary School having worked within education for her entire career. Starting in a large primary school Helen soon became a senior teacher with responsibility for English, then moving to a small primary school to become the Assistant Head teacher. In 2012 Helen joined The Meadows Primary School as the head teacher and transformed the school from ‘requires improvement’ to ‘good’ in 18 months. Due to her success in implementing this rapid improvement Helen was commissioned by the local authority to support other head teachers in challenging circumstances.

Helen is passionate about ensuring the Meadows' pupils have a strong sense of belonging within their learning community and says that ‘it is a privilege to know all of our families and interact with our pupils each and every day. It is these hands-on experiences that bring diversity to my role.’

‘We want to ensure our school ignites a passion for lifelong learning and creates memories that will last a lifetime, so that all our pupils achieve learning outcomes that are the foundations for academic success.'
