Welcome to Sir William Romney’s School

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Sir William Romney’s School and to our website. As Headteacher of this wonderful school, serving Tetbury and its surrounding areas as a proud member of the Athelstan Trust, I am honoured to share our vision and values with you.

At Sir William Romney’s, our guiding purpose, “Striving for Excellence Together,” is at the heart of everything we do. Our core values—aspiration, collaboration, and resilience—shape our identity and drive our achievements.

We are committed to nurturing ambition in every member of our school community, inspiring them to reach beyond what they thought possible. We encourage everyone to dream big while fostering the resilience needed to overcome challenges along the way. We also emphasise the importance of courage—encouraging students to take risks and embrace opportunities both in and out of the classroom to grow their character.

Our school culture is both happy and purposeful, built on a strong sense of belonging. Every individual is valued for their unique contributions, and we strive to ensure that all members of our community feel safe, proud, and supported. Collaboration is key to our success; by working together with students, staff, parents/carers, Governors, and the local community, we achieve greater outcomes, foster innovation, and strengthen our collective satisfaction

At Sir William Romney’s, we celebrate diversity and recognise that kindness is a powerful force for growth—both as individuals and as a community.

But don’t just take my word for it! We are always open for you to come and visit us and experience our vibrant community in action. Simply give us a call, and we’ll be delighted to arrange your visit.
