About us
Six people lead Star Avenue. Each of them has something specific they are answerable for, and any parent may ask to see any of them.
The leadership team
Head Teacher
M.Ed. Educational Leadership · B.Ed. Basic Education · GES-licensed
A founding member of staff who taught Basic 2 for the school's first three years before taking on the headship in 2018. She still teaches one Basic 5 English period a week, on the grounds that a head who does not teach forgets what teaching is like.
At Star Avenue since 2011
Deputy Head — Academics
M.Phil. Mathematics Education · B.Sc. Mathematics · GES-licensed
Responsible for the curriculum across all four sections, the assessment calendar, and the JHS mock examination programme. He teaches Basic 9 Mathematics and marks every mock paper himself.
At Star Avenue since 2016
Head of Preschool
B.Ed. Early Childhood Education · Montessori Diploma (0–6)
Runs Creche through KG 2 and the settling-in programme for new children. She wrote the school's daily-note-home system, which is now used from Creche to Nursery 2.
At Star Avenue since 2015
Head of Junior High
B.Ed. Social Studies · Dip. Educational Management · GES-licensed
Leads the JHS section and the CSSPS placement process. He meets every Basic 9 family individually before school selection opens.
At Star Avenue since 2019
School Administrator & Bursar
B.Sc. Administration (Accounting) · ICA Ghana Part II
Handles admissions, fees, receipts and the school's dealings with GES. If you have called the school office, you have spoken to her.
At Star Avenue since 2017
Designated Safeguarding Lead & Head of Pastoral Care
B.A. Psychology · Certificate in Child Protection
The named safeguarding lead. He runs the annual staff child-protection training, the anti-bullying programme, and the peer-mentoring scheme that pairs Basic 9 pupils with Basic 4s.
At Star Avenue since 2018
Who to ask about what
If you are not sure who to speak to, the front office will point you to the right person. You do not need to go through the head teacher for everything.
The school as a whole: teaching quality, staffing, discipline and the school's relationship with GES.
Curriculum coverage across all four sections, the assessment calendar, and the JHS mock examination programme.
Creche to KG 2: ratios, settling-in, the daily note home, and preschool staffing.
Basic 7 to Basic 9: BECE preparation, mock examinations and CSSPS placement.
Admissions, fees, receipts, records, and the school's statutory returns.
Every child-protection concern raised, staff training, and the anti-bullying programme.
Raising something
Most things are settled fastest by the class teacher. Where they are not, this is the order to go in.
For anything to do with a child's work, friendships or day-to-day life in the classroom. Catch them at drop-off or send a note in the diary.
If it is not resolved within a week, or if it affects more than one class. Ask at the office and they will arrange a time.
For anything unresolved at section level, or anything about staff conduct. Open door on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
For anything about a child's safety or welfare, at any point, without going through anyone else first.
Star Avenue is a registered private basic school operating under the supervision of the Ghana Education Service, and is inspected in line with GES requirements for private basic schools.
GES registration number: [GES registration no. — to be supplied]
The Parent–Teacher Association meets once a term and its minutes are posted on the parent noticeboard.
Admissions
We admit into every class, subject to space. Apply online in about ten minutes, or come and see the school first — most parents do.
Prefer to talk first? Call or WhatsApp +233 26 150 4477 — the admissions office answers from 7:00am to 4:00pm.
