Peter Jenkins is relishing the exciting challenges he faces in his new role as head teacher of Hartridge High School, according to Newport City Council. Working alongside him is new deputy head teacher Rob King. Both have taken over the top posts as Hartridge prepares for future changes, including a much-needed replacement school building. The 51-year-old has joined the school after nine years as head at Ferndale community school where official inspectors described his leadership as dynamic and of high quality. Mr Jenkins said the opportunity to be part of a new team taking the school forward was one he could not ignore.
"Schools are going through transition to a skills-based curriculum which offers a lot of opportunities in terms of developing our youngsters."
Mr Jenkins was also enthusiastic about the new school building with work due to start this summer.
"It will give the children the very best facilities in Wales."
Duffryn High School Head Jon Wilson had previously held the post as an interim measure.
