Prospective parents are warmly welcomed to a short presentation at 5pm (and a repeated version at 6pm is available) or to drop in at any point between 5pm and 7pm. There will be the opportunity to meet the CEO of Scholars’ Education Trust Claire Robins (OBE); the Deputy CEO and Executive Headteacher of Buntingford First School Mr Matt Gauthier; the COO Mrs Hazel Wale and the Headteacher of Buntingford First School Mrs Vikki Johnston.  Whilst on site, parents can view how the build is developing first hand; see innovative plans of the new net carbon-zero building including 3D images and hear directly from the staff at Scholars’ Education Trust. Scholars’ Education Trust will be sharing the exciting building journey via our social media platforms so please follow us on @BuntingfordFS (Twitter) and Buntingford First School (Facebook).

“Buntingford First School will prepare children to move onto the next stages of their education with the skills to thrive.  Our Scholars’ Education strapline is ‘Education for a Changing World’ and we will make full use of the benefits of technology within the classroom and beyond.  Similarly, children with strong views about important issues such as sustainability will be encouraged to help bring about change for the better in the school and local community.”

Mr Matt Gauthier (Executive Headteacher)

 “It is a great privilege to be taking on the role of Headteacher at Buntingford First School and leading the exciting establishment of a brand-new school. I am delighted that Buntingford First School will be the first net carbon zero school in Hertfordshire, as this is both a professional and personal passion of mine.  I am eager to start our journey as Buntingford First School and see children and families flourish as they join the Scholars’ Education Trust. I look forward to working closely with the local community.”

Mrs Vikki Johnston (Headteacher)
