Mrs Ellie Dean (Head Teacher)

“Hello all! For those of you I haven’t yet met I am Ellie Dean and was appointed the headteacher of Western Primary on November 2024. However, I have had the pleasure of working at the school for over 10 years as Deputy Headteacher, Year 6 teacher, SENCO and Designated Safeguarding Lead. Western Primary is a truly special school which puts the children and their needs at the heart of everything it does. Both myself and all the staff go above and beyond for all our children and families, giving children the best possible start to their education journey and providing future life skills. I am very lucky to work here and very proud of everything we achieve.”

One of my children has SEN and attends Star Room also.  Western Primary has supported not just my children immensely over the years, but myself also.
