Mrs Beth Elkins

Mrs Elkins has worked with wonderful children and young people for over 20 years, working in SEND across Further Education, Secondary and Primary settings and later within the Local Authority, advising Cambridgeshire schools on the development of their SEN approaches and provision. She is a qualified SENDCo and fluent in British Sign Language. 

Mrs Elkins is the parent of a son with a PDA diagnosis and has been headteacher at Gretton School for 5 years so far, a job that she is truly passionate about. 

"I truly believe that these young people will change the world; their ability to learn, deeply and meticulously, in areas of their interests; their capacity for empathy; their unique ways of thinking; their indescribable humour (they are genuinely hilarious); the courage they show to overcome their own fears and uncertainties; their tenacious self-management in a sometimes constant state of fight or flight. Believe me when I say that these are some remarkable people."
