The first female Headteacher of Gorsley Goffs Primary School, Diana Atkinson, is married with two teenage children and lives in rural Herefordshire. She has taught in the county for 13 years, joining Gorsley Goffs in January after three years as Deputy Headteacher at Trinity Primary School in Hereford.

Diana's teaching philosophy illustrates that each child is entitled to an equally high quality of teaching and learning in an environment which encourages children to strive for excellence within their own ability.

Diana reported that she feels very privileged to be head of such a forward looking school and welcomes the opportunity to continue to promote the Christian ethos and also combining traditional values with standards of excellence.
