Eva Pereira

Principal

Eva Pereira

I am privileged and proud to have been appointed the principal  at Grateley House School.

Having worked over thirty years for the company, in several schools, in a range of leadership roles, I am able to bring to the position the experience and skills to continue to develop the school and  inspire both staff and students to achieve their personal best.

Our school values of “Be Kind, Be Brave, Be You” defines the aims and aspirations of the school and is at the heart of everything we strive to achieve.

We acknowledge the difficulties and challenges our students face but all staff will aim to get the best out of each and every student, encourage and challenge them to become more confident and resilient and provide the skills and a positive mindset they can take with them to become happy and active citizens in this ever-changing world.

Josh Hand

Head of Care

Joshua Hand

I have enjoyed working at Grateley House School/Stratford Lodge for over 15 years. In this time I have undertaken many roles ranging from Learning Support Worker through to Registered Manager and my current role as Head of Care. I am proud to have been part of Grateley House School during this period, to have seen so many young people progress, and to have supported them on their individual pathways into adulthood. The world has changed a great deal in this time but the ethos and commitment of GHS has remained consistent throughout, always striving to support our young people to achieve their own personal best, whatever that may be. 

 

Prior to joining Grateley House School I studied Early Years Education combined with Social Care Studies at the University of Winchester, part of the draw of working in a specialist residential education setting such as GHS was the ability to put my study into practice on a daily basis. Working at GHS, I was not only able to do this but to continue to learn and build my knowledge and understanding, be that organically through direct practice or through the many CPD opportunities offered by the service.
