Anne Orme, the headteacher of Colerne Primary School, is helping to put Fitzmaurice Primary School in Bradford on Avon back on track. Mrs Orme is acting head teacher of Fitzmaurice until December.
Fitzmaurice was found to have 'serious weaknesses' in an Ofsted inspection just over a year ago. The school, which has over 250pupils, has been without a permanent head since Easter. The county council asked Mrs Orme to take over until a new head joins in January. Mrs Orme intends to be at Fitzmaurice School four days a week and return to Colerne on Fridays. Her deputy head at Colerne, Craig Gibbens, will be acting head of the school this term.
