Claire Harrap-Stanley – Headteacher Heath Farm School

I have over 26 years of experience in education, across a diverse range of both SEN and mainstream contexts both as a teacher and senior leader. I have responsibility for ensuring that the students all have access to a high quality education and wellbeing provision that holistically supports their needs.
We endeavour to ensure that all students reach their full potential and to be active contributors to society as adults.  Over the past few years, the width of the curriculum offer has substantially grown, including KS4 Options with a wide range of accreditation pathways set in place to support this endeavour.
I am a governor at a mainstream primary school with responsibility for SEND, PSHE and Church distinctiveness. I have two children, a dog and I enjoy family time, running and reading.

Sharron Humphrey – Headteacher, Heath Farm College

I am the Headteacher of the College at Heath Farm School and I have responsibility for our 6th Form cohort, I have been in post since September 2019. Since I started at the school the 6th Form has been evolving and developing. The provision has a hardworking and committed team of staff facilitating the learning of our young adults as they begin to forge their way into adulthood. This is such an exciting journey and it is so rewarding to work with the young adults who attend our centre.

Before joining Heath Farm School I had the privilege of working in a wide range of educational settings, since 1995, including two music trusts and three large, fully inclusive, mainstream comprehensives. For the majority of my career I have worked in large inner London comprehensives, all of which had their own smaller specialist provisions within them. I have been fortunate to work in all phases from nursery through to higher education. I decided, in the year 2000, to specialise in the secondary and 6th Form phase. I am also a trained coach.

I am trained dancer, musician and teacher of performing arts. Therefore when I am not at work I really enjoy theatre trips and other arts events. I also enjoy walks with my family and spending time with my six cats. I am a Fellow of the RSA.

Mark Jones – Deputy Headteacher: Wellbeing, Heath Farm School

My name is Mark Jones and I am the Deputy Headteacher with lead responsibility for well-being and safeguarding. I take a lead in all pastoral, wellbeing and behaviour related practices and set procedures at Heath Farm School. Having been at the school for more than 30 years, I know the school very well and have seen the amazing developments over this time and how we support so many positive outcomes for our students and their families.
I am actively able to use all my SEND experience to ensure there is consistency of care across the provision, and will advocate for the students, ensuring that student voice is at the heartbeat of the school. A key part of my role is to support the children, parents, carers, guardians and staff alike and I often take the lead in working with social services professionals, safeguarding colleagues and other external agencies on behalf of our children and their parents. I also establish positive collaborative working relationships with a range of external providers so that all the agreed education, health and care responsibilities are supported and prioritised for the children we take care of.
“I believe in leading by example, fostering an environment of transparency, and supporting the school community teams, including parents, carers and guardians, to succeed through honest feedback”
