Our Staff

Headteacher

Rhona GriffinMrs Rhona Griffin

I came to Warberry in January 2001, after leading several schools in Somerset. I grew up in Devon and trained as a teacher in Plymouth – so I am very much a West Country person. I live in a beautiful South Hams village where I find walking by the sea wonderfully therapeutic. As a youngster, I played all around South Devon in a folk band and still very much enjoy teaching music to children in our school.

I am really determined to raise standards at Warberry even higher and enjoy seeing quality work in our classrooms and the very high standards of behaviour. I am keen to further develop our already extensive extra curricular programme, to continue to improve the learning environment at Warberry and to support and motivate our hardworking staff.
