Our School Leaders
Our school operates a leadership structure of a Headteacher who is supported by four able Senior Leaders. Additionally, many of our teachers undertake a 'Subject' Leader role (details below).
Jordan Fern
Headteacher
Hello and a warm welcome to our beautiful school! I’m Mr Fern, and I’m incredibly proud to say this is now my 13th year as part of the Grosvenor Park family. Time really does fly when you’re surrounded by such amazing children—every day brings new smiles, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
You’ll often find me involved in every aspect of school life, working alongside our fantastic team to truly MAKE a DIFFERENCE for every member of our community. Whether it’s greeting families at the gate, cheering on our sports teams, or joining in with creative classroom projects, I love being part of the daily magic that happens here.
Some of my favourite highlights include:
- Our unforgettable London and Winmarleigh residential trips, where children grow in independence and confidence while making lifelong memories.
- The huge variety of clubs and sporting competitions on offer—from football to pottery—ensuring there’s something for everyone.
- Our rich, inspiring curriculum that equips children to become curious, resilient, lifelong learners.
- And above all, the incredible sense of unity and togetherness that shines through in everything we do.
Grosvenor Park is a place where every child is valued, every talent is celebrated, and every day is an adventure.
Emma Price
Deputy Headteacher
Mrs Price is our Deputy Headteacher.
Hello I have worked at our school for 19 years. It has been a great journey and the time has whizzed by. During this time, I feel lucky to have had many roles within school and worked across all our key stages. We have a wonderful school family where everyone strives to make a difference to themselves, others and the world around them. It's so important to us all that everyone in our school family feels safe and loved.
I will be leaving Grosvenor Park in January to become a headteacher in a school in Preston. Whilst this is very exciting, it is also tinged with sadness for me. I will truly miss the wonderful staff, families and children at Grosvenor Park. It has been home for the last 19 years and will always have a special place in my heart. What a wonderful place it is and it just keeps getting better every year!
John Wilson
Assistant Headteacher (SENDCo)
Mr Wilson is our school's SENDCo
Since qualifying over a quarter of a century ago, he has only taken a one year break from our school family to help out with a small rural school. He is drawn to the Grosvenor Park family because they are a supportive, caring group who work together to make a difference in each others' lives.
He likes nothing better than to encourage the people that he works with to be resilient learners and to challenge themselves to achieve their best.
All of the work that school has undertaken to achieve three Green Flag awards has inspired Mr Wilson to reduce his carbon footprint by running or cycling to school most days.
At home, Mr Wilson loves spending time with his family, just being together and creating happy memories.

Laura Martin
Assistant Headteacher
Mrs Martin has been part of the school community for over ten years and plays a key role in both teaching and leadership. She loves teaching in Year 5/6 and leads the school’s curriculum, ensuring that it is carefully designed, ambitious, and consistently delivered across all year groups so that everyone is challenged and supported. Her role involves working closely with staff to monitor standards and create opportunities so that enable every pupil is able to achieve.
In addition to her leadership responsibilities, Mrs Martin organises our wide range of extra-curricular clubs, broadening the experiences available to pupils and enriching their time at school. She loves the way that people at Grosvenor Park are excited to try something new and love seeing children represent their school proudly. She is a strong supporter of the whole school team and is committed to fostering a culture of collaboration and teamwork.
Away from school, Mrs Martin enjoys following Formula One and values time spent with her family. Her young daughter keeps her busy, and she loves making special memories with her.
Rebecca Walton

Miss Walton is a passionate and experienced educator with over ten years of teaching across the primary phase. Throughout her career, she has taught in every key stage, developing a deep understanding of the curriculum and the diverse needs of learners at each stage of their educational journey.
