Headteacher's Welcome

As the Headteacher of Orleans Park, I am deeply honoured to lead such a vibrant and dedicated school community. Our students, known for their kindness, hard work, and articulate nature, are the heart of Orleans Park, and their pride in being part of this community is truly inspiring.

Orleans Park is a thriving, oversubscribed 11-18 mixed comprehensive school serving the Twickenham area, with over 1,350 students. Our dedicated staff are committed to ensuring every student succeeds, leaving here not just as responsible citizens but as confident individuals ready to make their mark on the world.

Our school is a joyful and dynamic place to learn, where students thrive in a secure and supportive environment. We believe in the power of a community that fosters learning while promoting social responsibility. Our core values -Responsibility, Resilience, and Respect - are at the forefront of everything we do, guiding our students to achieve their best.

When students join Orleans Park, they become part of a high-achieving, forward-thinking, and caring community. Our tradition of academic rigour, combined with a strong emphasis on creativity, defines our ethos.

We take immense pride in our students' achievements. Our teachers build strong relationships with their students and collaborate closely across disciplines to provide holistic support. Our learning environment sets high expectations, empowering students to reach their full potential.

This year, we are placing a renewed emphasis on our Sixth Form and directed study programs. These initiatives are designed to further enhance the educational provision at Orleans Park, ensuring that our students are not only well-prepared for their exams but also for the challenges and opportunities that lie beyond. Our commitment to student wellbeing remains unwavering, and our staff are dedicated to encouraging excellence in every aspect of school life.

Recognised as the community school of choice, Orleans Park offers a wealth of extracurricular activities that enrich the learning experience and help students forge lifelong friendships. Our relationships with parents, governors, staff, and students are the cornerstone of our success, and we take great pride in our active involvement in the local community. We encourage our students to be ambassadors of the school at all times, embodying the values we hold dear.

Orleans Park is an excellent choice for your child's education, and we are committed to being the best we can be. I look forward to welcoming you to our school and sharing the exciting journey ahead.
