James Grayston

I am delighted to be the head at Cherry Tree Academy and feel extremely proud to be part of the school community. Since qualifying in Leeds I have worked in both secondary and primary phases both in Leeds and Wakefield, undertaking various roles from Class Teacher, Key Stage Leader, Deputy Head and more recently Acting-Headteacher within the trust. I passionately believe that all children are at the heart of everything we do and that with the right support and challenge we will ensure everyone enjoys success. It is my goal to make sure that every child at Cherry Tree Academy enjoys success by reaching their full potential and leaves us ready for the next stage of their education.

It is extremely rewarding working with colleagues from Waterton Academy Trust, who all share the same ethos and relentless pursuit of the best for all our children.
