Ms Adele Robinson Headteacher

Date of appointment: 1st September 2011

It is a real privilege to be in my twelfth year of Headship at Dalton St Michael's C.E. Primary School. I feel fortunate to work with such delightful children, a dedicated team of staff and supportive, yet challenging, Governors. I thoroughly enjoy the diversity of the role and the differences that each day brings. I am committed to ensuring we provide all our children with high quality learning experiences and a range of opportunities.

Ms Saartje van Walbeek Vice - Chair of Governors; Chair of Resource Committee

Term of office: 4th April 2022 - 3rd April 2026

As a mum of a year 3 pupil and a year Reception child, I thought the opportunity to become involved and participate in some of the decisions around the future of the school was a superb one. I come from a non-academic, business background and hope to bring some of the skills and the experience of working in a large multinational company to the table, especially with some of the challenges that our services face. I consider myself enthusiastic and feel passionate about contributing to the community so am looking forward to being able to now help in the school community too.
