A message from the Head of School

Mrs Jemma Calverley

Head of School for Fawcett Primary

My name is Jemma Calverley and I am the Head of School at Fawcett Primary School.  

I started my teaching career in a small village primary school just outside of Cambridge before I joined the Fawcett team in 2011. Then, Fawcett was a single school with the vision of a second school in the pipeline. I have been on this journey with the school, starting a second school, seeing the building develop and progress to where we are now, having two schools that make up the Trumpington Federation.

During my time here, I have worked as a senior leader at both schools and as a team had positive impact on the teaching and learning across the schools.  

Working at the Federation has also provided me with additional opportunities. Recently, I have been seconded to experience headship at a small village school.

This experience was enriching and cemented my love for the Federation and the community surrounding our school. After my secondment, I returned to Fawcett and shortly after applied to be the Head Teacher, in the role in which I currently work.  

I am also a mum to two primary school aged children. This keeps me busy outside of school. I do my best to share in my own children’s learning by taking a keen interest in their curriculum.  We read together as much as possible so, I do my best to practice what I preach!
