Welcome to Co-op Academy Hillside, a school at the heart of a proud community.

I am delighted to be writing to you as the new Headteacher of Co-op Academy Hillside.

I feel extremely honoured and privileged to be taking on my new role and fully intend to continue to build upon the success the school has already achieved. Within our wonderful school, we have a hugely committed team of staff and the most incredible children, which of course, is a great place for any new head to start!

During my time in education, I have held many different roles, including a previous Headship at another Wirral school and Head of Special Educational Needs and Disability for the Local Authority. I am also the Executive headteacher at Co-op Academy Woodslee. Throughout all my roles, Inclusion has always been my driving force. I believe passionately that the school should be a place of care, love and tolerance.

It is the responsibility of my staff and I to ensure that the highest standard of teaching and learning is achieved for all pupils at Co-op Academy Hillside and I want us to capitalise on the `Power of Parents` to support us in accomplishing this for your child. In the near future, we will be inviting parents into school for assemblies, coffee mornings and to share our learning. I look forward to working with you in partnership to secure the very best outcomes for your children.

Katy Bergman, Headteacher
