Meet our Headteacher

In April 2011 Mrs Susannah Daniel was appointed as Headteacher for All Saints Junior School on Brownlow Road by CfBT Education Trust and the All Saints Action Group (ASAG) – the proposers behind the innovative new school.

A former headteacher in inner-city London schools, Mrs Daniel impressed proposers with her enthusiasm and drive to develop All Saints Free School in collaboration with the local community as a centre for educational excellence in which all children will learn and thrive.

Wendy Woodcock, Director of Schools and Nurseries at CfBT Education Trust said:
“We were all impressed with Mrs Daniel’s enthusiasm for the role and her track record in delivering excellent education in collaboration with a school’s community. I have no doubt that her experience and expertise will ensure Reading’s first Free School is a success and I am delighted to be working with her to make this happen.”

With almost 20 years’ teaching experience, Mrs Daniel started working with CfBT and ASAG in April to develop plans for the school including working with parents and the wider community on developing the curriculum and proposals for the school’s temporary and permanent accommodation.

“I am extremely excited about this new role and the amazing opportunity it gives me, the parents, the proposers and the west Reading community to build a school from scratch. We are in the very fortunate position of being able to create the kind of school we know we want and will work and I know we can make this a success for the children who are going to make up our school community. I can't wait for the new term to start and  the official opening of All Saints Junior School Reading!” said Mrs Daniel.

Mrs Daniel lives in Windsor with her three children. She is a keen sportswoman and manages the Windsor Under-7s rugby team as well as playing netball herself. Mrs Daniel has also worked as a volunteer for the charity Reach to Teach which builds schools in rural parts of India.
