Mr H Singh Dhanjal - Headteacher

Mr H S Dhanjal, Headteacher, Nishkam Primary School Wolverhampton, Executive Headteacher NST, is an experienced leader who has worked across all educational sectors which include Further Education, Secondary and Primary Education.  This range of experience has enabled him to lead his team successfully to achieve not only excellent academic outcomes, but equally importantly preparing children in their next steps in their education journey and beyond.

He is passionate about education and strongly believes that ‘each child only has one chance to excel, it’s our duty to provide outstanding education to bring out the very best from our children. One must see education from as many different perspectives as possible in order to fully appreciate the opportunities and challenges that exist.’

There is a lovely African proverb: 'It takes a village to raise a child.' African culture recognises that parenting is a shared responsibility - a communal affair - not just the concern of parents or grandparents. Harmander is committed to the tri-part relationship with the school, child and parents to give the very best that children deserve.  This parent partnership is very much a strength of the teams he leads.

Harmander is committed to the Nishkam Virtues, firstly learning from them himself, and then driving them through the school to nurture the very best human beings.  As an active member of the community, Harmander also volunteers his time to school improvement as a governor.  He is dedicated to high quality education and a solid foundation of values for all children.

Mrs K Paul - Assistant Headteacher

Mrs K Paul, Assistant Headteacher, Nishkam Primary School Wolverhampton, as someone who has been raised on Nishkam values and virtues, my journey has been profoundly shaped by their guiding principles. Having experienced the positive impact of these values in my own life, I was driven to contribute to a place that embodies them wholeheartedly – Nishkam Primary School.

Joining the team at Nishkam Primary School has been a natural and purposeful decision for me. These values, instilled in me since childhood, have become the compass that guides my professional path. I firmly believe in the power of education to shape young minds and build a compassionate society, and this aligns perfectly with the ethos of Nishkam Primary School.

As an Assistant Head, I am committed to fostering an environment where children are not only academically successful but also grow into caring and responsible individuals. The Nishkam values serve as a solid foundation upon which we nurture the unique potential of each child.

Being part of this remarkable institution allows me to witness the transformation of students as they learn and live these values. I am inspired daily by the dedication of our teachers and staff to create a supportive and inclusive community.

At Nishkam Primary School, we do not simply teach values; we live them. It is immensely fulfilling to be part of an educational family that genuinely practices what it preaches. I find great joy in witnessing our students develop into confident, empathetic, and socially conscious individuals.

Nishkam Primary School is not just a workplace for me; it is a place where my personal values and professional aspirations converge. I am honored to contribute to the growth and development of our students, knowing that the seeds of goodness and compassion we plant today will flourish in a brighter and kinder world tomorrow.
