Dave Williams

Headteacher

I have held a Senior Leadership position in Trusts and Secondary Schools for the last 23 years and have been most recently the CEO of a small cross-phase Trust in Chesterfield, which increased my knowledge and understanding of Primary schools. Previous to this have been a Headteacher in two different Secondary schools in Doncaster and Chesterfield. I have been a National Leader of Education and supported a range of different organisations as part of their development, alongside leading my own school. I started my teaching career in Doncaster in 1996 as a teacher of Design and Technology and I believe that the time in the classroom gave me a strong foundation for my career.

Assistant Headteacher

Mr Mallaband started his teaching career at High Storrs in 2012 as a PE Teacher and never looked back.
