School Update: Principal of Shireland Biomedical UTC

Dear families

In June, Mrs Stephens wrote to families to inform them that she was taking some time away from school to support a member of her family who was going through a difficult time.  We obviously agreed to this request as it was important for Mrs Stephens to have that space to support. Sadly, she has now taken the decision not to return to the school and to leave her post as Principal at Shireland Biomedical at the end of August to move closer to her family.

I am sure you will join us in wishing her well in whatever she undertakes in the future and thanking her for all she has done for the school this year.

I am delighted to announce that Gulfam Shahzad who recently joined the Trust has agreed to be the Acting Principal of the Shireland Biomedical UTC. Gulfam brings a wealth of experience and expertise in leading innovative and successful schools, and I am confident that he will make a positive impact on the UTC and its students.

Gulfam is passionate about providing high-quality education that prepares students for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. He believes that the UTC has a unique role to play in developing the skills and knowledge of young people who aspire to pursue careers in the biomedical sector. He aims to build on the strengths of the UTC and enhance its partnerships with employers, universities and the local community.

Gulfam is looking forward to working with all of you and learning from your experiences and insights. He welcomes your feedback and suggestions on how to improve the UTC and achieve its vision and goals. Please join me in giving him a warm welcome and offering him your full support and cooperation.

I would as ever like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support for the UTC throughout this year, our partnership with families is hugely important to us.
