Executive Headteacher’s Welcome

Welcome to Pitcheroak School.

I’m Jay Hart, Executive Headteacher of these two exceptional special schools, where we place the personal development of every pupil at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is to prepare young people for their next steps in life—whether in education, employment, or independent living—by nurturing their confidence, resilience, and sense of self.

We are proud to offer safe, ambitious, and therapeutic environments that take into account the diverse needs of all our pupils. By understanding and supporting these needs, we create the conditions for meaningful learning and personal growth. Our schools are inclusive communities where every child is valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.

At Kingfisher and Pitcheroak, we believe that education should inspire, challenge, and support. We work in close partnership with families and professionals to ensure that every pupil receives the care and guidance they need to succeed—not just academically, but as well-rounded individuals ready to make a positive contribution to society in whatever way they can.

Thank you for visiting our website. I invite you to explore further and discover what makes our schools such special places to learn and grow.

Warm regards,
Jay Hart
Executive Headteacher
