Juliette Little  

Deputy Headteacher, Acting Headteacher and Trust Safeguarding Lead, All Saints CofE Primary School 

Juliette joined All Saints CofE. Primary School in September 2015 as a newly qualified teacher after completing her BA in Primary Education at Oxford Brookes University. Since then, Juliette has progressed through a range of roles including class teacher, subject lead, curriculum lead and Assistant Headteacher. Following All Saints joining Ridgeway Education Trust in November 2023, she continued to develop her career further as Deputy Headteacher, Acting Headteacher (one day a week) and Trust Safeguarding Lead.  

I chose to join All Saints because of its nurturing, people‑centred ethos, strong leadership and clear sense of community. Since joining, I have benefited from high‑quality professional development, including in‑house CPD delivered by Trust experts alongside external training opportunities. I have also undertaken the NPQH which has strengthened my leadership skills and confidence. Leadership is truly part of the DNA of the Trust with a strong focus on leading for impact and for legacy. Through my time with RET, I have learnt that effective leadership is rooted in relationships, clarity of purpose and developing others. The opportunities I have enjoyed at All Saints reflect the supportive and aspirational culture that exists both within the school and across the Trust. 

I love my job because it is both rewarding and challenging. What I enjoy most about working at All Saints is the positive culture, the strong support from colleagues and the Trust, and most importantly the amazing children who make our school such a special place. I am most proud of the continued growth of the school and the support we provide to our whole community.
