I'm willing to bet You're smart and strong and in control of most aspects of your life! You likely have incredible kids and work hard in your chosen career, whether that’s working outside the home, or staying home to raise your children. Everything might look good on the outside — perfect even — but, if you’re reading this, I’m guessing that you (like so many other women) are living with a secret stress and shame, the weight of which is starting to pull you under. YOU’RE MISERABLE IN YOUR MARRIAGE AND YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO. Your husband might tell you that you’re the problem, and you know there are things you could work on, but are you really the whole problem? Isn’t it supposed to be 50/50? Maybe you keep reading about narcissism and you secretly wonder if your husband might be a narcissist. But if he is, then what does that make you? How on earth did you get here? This is all so confusing! I'm Dr Sue Palmer-Conn, aka The Divorce Doctor. I've been working with hundreds of women like you, all over the world, for fifteen years. I've been in your shoes myself I divorced at the age of 50 after a 25-year marriage. My husband was controlling, not physically but emotionally, and borderline narcissistic personality disordered. I was the first of my family and friends to get divorced. I didn't know where to turn. After I divorced, I started a new, very successful, career and alongside that developed a busy practice working with mid-life women thinking about and going through divorce. I am a multi-award-winning divorce coach, whose accolades include 'Global Divorce Coach of the Year'. I now run my own Divorce Coaching Academy training the next generation of divorce coaches.

I am exceptionally proud to lead and work in such a richly diverse school community in which students with different languages, cultures and religions learn together in harmony. The school's comprehensive nature is something that we value immensely. Our students are encouraged to explore, discover and question through a range of exciting learning opportunities both within and outside the classroom. The staff endeavour to provide a calm and stimulating environment where good behaviour and mutual respect is modelled by everyone and where everyone is valued. We work closely with parents/carers and the wider community to ensure the success of our students. We believe that children deserve the best possible chances in life and that they learn best when there are strong links between home and school. Over the last few years we have spoken constantly about raised expectations and we will continue to push this throughout this academic year, particularly as we look to re-set and recalibrate on the back on the impact of the pandemic. In every aspect of school life, we will raise the bar for students and staff with the view that 'nobody rises to low expectations'. In terms our curriculum delivery, student achievement and progress, their involvement in school and community life, the ways in which students wear the uniform and present their work with pride, the ways in which they speak to each other and the behaviours that they demonstrate within the school and the community in which it resides ... in all of these ways, our expectations will be more ambitious and explicit than ever before. To this end, we have developed a ‘Manifesto for Change’ which sets out the ways in which we aim to continue our journey to excellence and identifies the long-term priorities for the school. One of our main priorities this year will be to ensure, as far as we can, that no child is left behind and that every child is challenged by the curriculum that we have in place. Students should find things difficult, although not impossible, at times. They should struggle at times and be expected to think deeply about the work that they do. They shouldn’t be getting everything right all of the time; if they are, the work is too easy and they’re not being challenged. None of this means that they shouldn’t be enjoying their learning; being challenged can be enjoyable. The curriculum is the bread and butter of our educational offer and should be inspiring a real thirst for learning; we can only do this through supporting and challenging. I hope you enjoy finding out more about our school by browsing our website. Visits are encouraged and welcomed; we would be delighted to show you around our wonderful school.
