From the The R J Mitchell Primary School
Being the headteacher of RJ Mitchell Primary School for more than 13 years has made me feel incredibly privileged. It has been amazing to watch the school mature and become the extremely diverse institution that it is now. I count myself fortunate to be the head of a school with a committed faculty and diligent students that consistently respect our Core Values and uphold the Mitchell Spirit. We are all really happy of where we have come and how our efforts have been recognised in the most recent Ofsted Report. We are grateful for the supportive relationship we have with Parents and Carers and regard it greatly. We also appreciate their help with the school and their kids. We celebrated our 50th birthday this year. A significant occasion for the entire school community. We are all excited for the upcoming years and RJ Mitchell's continuous success.
