I am delighted to introduce myself as Head of School of Ansford Academy from January 2025.

Prior to this new role many of you will know I have worked here at Ansford Academy as Deputy Headteacher.  I have worked in education for over 25 years working in a range of schools starting my career as a maths teacher in Essex and then taking on various leadership roles as I have progressed through my career.

As an educationalist I believe young people should be provided with top quality education where they feel safe and have the best opportunity to thrive with their studies. 

My new role at Ansford Academy is to ensure the school provides the experiences required to enable our students to gain the knowledge and skills that will prepare them to lead productive and fulfilling lives.  

Education is about everyone achieving his or her best, while developing individual character and personality.  We are a mixed 11-16 comprehensive school with approximately 550 students.

At Ansford, we are committed to creating a great place to learn, work and grow. 

Our motto, learning together to lead our lives, reflects our passionate belief in equipping individuals with the skills to make a success of their lives.

Mr Karl Musson
