Iridium Education

I am a practising teacher who has over 20 years’ experience in the secondary education sector, my specialist subject being science. Currently, I hold the position of Deputy Headteacher in an 11-18 school with responsibility for Quality of Education. Since being a senior leader, I have gained significant experience in leading whole school and subject specific professional development. I have completed the NPQH and been awarded a distinction in a master’s degree in educational leadership and in doing so have carried out research relating to curriculum and social justice. I strongly believe in: Creating an engaging, challenging curriculum which allows all children to flourish and achieve their potential. Providing high quality professional development which allows staff to improve performance in the classroom. An education system that empowers learners and promotes social justice. Promoting social justice is the intrinsic drive behind everything I do, and is one of the core values behind the Iridium Education philosophy.
