A Nottinghamshire secondary school has welcomed a new principal who comes from a school which was ranked one of the country's most improved last year. George Coles is the new principal at the 690-pupil Wells Academy, Nottingham,
Mr Coles previously worked in the senior leadership team at Nottinghamshire’s Sutton Community Academy, which went from being one of the UK's worst schools to achieving a Good Ofsted report in a single inspection. Speaking of his vision for The Wells Academy, in Ransom Drive, Mapperley Park, he explained he wants to “support the academy to reach new heights”.
He said: “I’ve been interested in the journey of The Wells Academy since it opened two and a half years ago. This academy is on a mission, and my role is to help it continue on that mission. There’s a real, palpable energy in the building.
