Mr John Ireland joins king edward's junior school
It is with great excitement that I join King Edward’s Junior School. From the moment I met the staff and leadership team here I knew this was a setting that I wanted to be part of, one that puts the pupils at the forefront of everything they do in providing a real breadth of education.

We are delighted to welcome Mr John Ireland as our new Deputy Head at the Junior School.
Starting out his time in teaching with a PGCE in primary education from the University of Reading, Mr Ireland's first role was in the state sector where he gained his SENCO qualification before moving to Ashford School (Prep) as Head of Learning Support. During this time, he completed his Master’s in Education before joining Crosfields School as Head of Juniors (Year 3 & 4). In 2021 Mr Ireland took on the role of Deputy Head (Academic) at the same school as well as becoming part of the Independent Schools Inspectorate Team and a local school governor.
In addition to his educational interests, Mr Ireland is looking forward to exploring Bath and the surrounding areas with his young family and hopefully getting to watch some rugby!
