The XP journey continues with new appointments at two Trust schools

Two new appointments within the XP School Trust have been made and the new appointees will take up their posts from  April 2022.

Mrs Claira Salter will be the new Principal of XP Doncaster (XP School and XP East) and Mrs Kelly Overson will be the new Head of School at Green Top. 

Both leaders have been involved in the XP Journey for many years and are currently part of the Green Top school team. They will nurture and guide their new schools through the opportunities, expeditions and ever evolving connection to their communities that are at the heart of the ethos of the XP School Trust.

Claira commented this week:

“My new appointment ends my time as Headteacher of Green Top. Since I started there in September 2008, the Green Top community has supported me to be the best version of myself. I have so many precious memories of my time as a teacher, leader and headteacher of the school. It has shaped who I am as a leader.”

Claira continued: 

“I am excited about continuing to be challenged and supported by the students, staff and parents of the XP Doncaster schools when I take up my new post next year. From my working relationship with the XP Doncaster schools during my time as a headteacher at Green Top, I have been inspired, motivated, challenged and supported to influence the students and staff I work with. I look forward to developing relationships with the students, staff and parents at XP Doncaster in the coming weeks in preparation for this new role.” 

Kelly added:

“I am delighted to have been appointed as the new Head of School at Green Top. It is an absolute privilege to have been asked to lead the school continuing the exciting journey that we are on.  Green Top is an amazing school where the staff work extremely hard to ensure the very best learning opportunities and outcomes for our wonderful children and I am proud to continue to develop and strengthen this over years to come.” 

“I joined Green Top in 1997 and during this time I have worked in every year group from nursery to year 6 as a member of support staff before becoming a teacher working in KS2.  I have also been assistant headteacher at Green Top for 5 years and so I have a strong understanding of the School, and our local community.  My own children attended the school so I not only understand the many roles in which I have played over the years, I also know what being a parent in the Green Top community means.  The past 24 years have provided a strong foundation of knowledge and understanding of our community and our school’s incredible potential.” 

“I am looking forward to continuing the journey with the students, staff and parents.”

At Green Top school as a result of these appointments Mr Mumby will be moving as class teacher for class 16 and Phase Leader for Y5/6, with Mrs Faulding becoming the class teacher of class 12 This will come into effect from Monday 15th November 2021.
