Meet the Senior Leadership Team

Mr Hill

Principal

On behalf of the Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust I feel delighted and proud to introduce myself as the Principal of Tameside Primary Academy. We are a large, predominantly 3-form entry school, with high expectations and a new ambitious senior leadership team.
I joined the school in September 2019 as Principal, almost a year after we became a part of Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust. The progress made in school in conjunction with the Trust has so far been excellent. We will not stop there though. We aim to be outstanding as we strive to give every child an education that prepares them to be lifelong learners.
I am passionate about teaching and learning and believe that our E3L curriculum mirrors our school ethos of Excite Explore Excel. This ensures that all pupils of the Academy are engaged in exciting learning where they can achieve. This will, in turn, give our pupils the skills that they need to succeed in the future.
Our mission is to create a learning climate and ethos that is stimulating and interesting, and will provide learning experiences and teaching that the children will love. We want our children and their families to be excited about coming to school and feel part of our growing Academy.

Miss McDonald

Senior Assistant Principal

SEND Lead

I have been part of the team since September 2015 and am the Acting Senior Assistant Principal in charge of SEND. My role ensures the provision of SEND across the school is the best it can be, working with both staff and pupils to do this. I manage and co-ordinate the well-being, learning and education of all SEN children at Tameside to ensure all pupils make superb progress. Our exciting curriculum has been designed to create many opportunities to explore and excel which enables all children to access the learning. In addition to being the SENCO, I also teach in Year 6 and ensure that the secondary school transition runs smoothly. I love the challenges of Year 6 and seeing the light bulb moments when children understand. I am an enthusiastic leader who is passionate about making a difference to children. All our children at Tameside can and will succeed and I am delighted to be part of the team that will make it happen

Mr Yalluri

Vice Principal

I joined the Tameside Primary Academy team in January 2020 as Assistant Principal in charge of Teaching and Learning.  I am very proud to be part of such a vibrant school and my goal is to support Tameside Primary Academy in providing the very best educational experiences possible for the children. As part of my role I monitor, evaluate and develop the curriculum to ensure that it is fun, exciting and accessible to all children. In addition to this, I also support the development of teaching and learning across the whole school, which I am very passionate about. I believe that it is vital to provide children with opportunities where they can fulfil their potential and exceed their own expectations.  As an experienced teacher, I have seen the positive impact that education has on children and their lives and I am enthusiastic about supporting Tameside Primary Academy in making sure that all of the children here receive the education that they deserve.

Hello, I am proud to be part of a great team here at Tameside. I joined the school in July 2020 and have twenty years experience in working within the school environment and have loved every minute. Our administration team in the front office provides invaluable support to the school in various capacities. My responsibilities include managing the Academy budget, offering support to our dedicated teaching staff, and ensuring that best practices are consistently prioritised and communicated well to the families of Tameside. There is nothing more fulfilling as witnessing the growth and development of the children at Tameside Academy, supported by the Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust, and observing the positive impact of the changes we implement to enhance their education and well-being for both the children and their families.
