Teacher returns as head

Jackie Nellis has been appointed as headteacher of Halifax High at Wellesley Park.

From 2000 to 2004 she was the school's assistant head before leaving to become head at Carlton Bolling College.

Under her leadership, the inner city Bradford school has gone from being rated as failing by Ofsted to now being considered an outstanding school.

She left Carlton Bolling to take up the post of principal delegate at the planned Waterhead Academy in Oldham but left the post before the school opened.
