Deputy Headteacher

My name is Laura Rostron, and I am the Deputy Headteacher at Barrowford School. In my role, I work closely with Rach to lead and manage various aspects of school life, including curriculum, assessment, staffing, and many other areas. I also work closely with Karl to monitor teaching and learning across school. My primary focus is to ensure the smooth running of the school, allowing Rach to concentrate on bringing her vision and leadership to Barrowford. I feel incredibly fortunate in my position, as I have the privilege of working with our dedicated staff, the wonderful children, and their families within our school community. It truly is a role I consider to be the best in the world.

I love working at Barrowford because the children and their families are always at the heart of everything we do. Being part of the Bazza family is a genuinely special experience, and I feel both honoured and blessed by the incredible people I’ve met and the many opportunities I’ve had. The most remarkable thing about Barrowford is that these experiences continue to unfold. Each day brings new challenges and rewards, and I leave each evening feeling proud of the positive impact we have on the lives of our young people and their families.

My family & friends would use the following three words to describe me: kind, loyal, and nurturing.
