Message from the Head of School

It is my great pleasure and privilege to welcome you to the Lift Rawlett website.

My name is Tom Martin, and I am the new Head of School. It is an immense honour to be entrusted with leading this community, and I have been overwhelmed by the warmth of the welcome I have received from students, staff, and parents since my arrival.

From my very first visit, it was clear that Lift Rawlett is a special place. There is a palpable sense of community, a dedication to nurturing each child, and a vibrant, purposeful atmosphere that makes learning a joy.

My vision is to build on these fantastic foundations. I am committed to upholding the highest academic standards while ensuring we provide a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment. I believe in an education that develops the whole child—equipping them not only with knowledge and skills but also with the curiosity, resilience, and kindness needed to thrive in the world.

Message from the Executive Principal

Welcome to Lift Rawlett — a community where students are at the heart of every decision we make.

We are on an ambitious and exciting journey of transformation. Together with staff, students, and families, we are building a school where high expectations, strong relationships, and a deep commitment to learning drive everything we do.

This transformation is rooted in care and belief. We believe that with the right support, challenge, and environment, every student can achieve great things. That’s why we’re creating classrooms that are calm, focused, and full of purpose; a curriculum that is rigorous and relevant; and a culture where kindness, respect, and ambition are central to school life.

Our students are incredible — curious, creative, and capable of so much. They deserve a school that inspires them, lifts their aspirations, and prepares them not just for exams, but for life. Whether it’s through academic achievement, the arts, sport, leadership opportunities or personal development, we want every young person to leave Rawlett confident in who they are and ready to contribute positively to the world around them.

We are unapologetically striving for excellence. Every day we are taking deliberate steps to improve, and to build a school culture that celebrates learning, values effort, and champions the potential of every child.

If you are already part of our Lift Rawlett family, thank you for your continued support. If you’re considering joining us, we warmly invite you to visit and experience the culture we are building — one of high expectations, genuine care, and endless possibility.
