I am a passionate headteacher with a devotion to Special Educational Needs (SEN).I have cultivated a deep understanding of the unique needs of my students, empowering them to reach their full potential.With over 11 years of experience in the education sector, I have established myself as a visionary leader and change-maker in the SEN community. My approach to education is rooted in a person-centered philosophy, recognising the individual strengths and abilities of each student. I believe in providing a holistic approach to learning that encompasses not only academic development but also social and emotional growth. By fostering a positive and inclusive school culture and ethos, I successfully created an environment where students feel a sense of belonging and are motivated to embrace their own learning journey.Collaboration is at the heart of my leadership style. I work closely with a multidisciplinary team to develop innovative strategies and programmes that cater to the specific requirements of autistic students, allowing them not only to cope in education, but to thrive.By establishing strong partnerships with parents, caregivers and our team, we create a seamless network of support that extends beyond the school walls.My journey began by implementing the innovative REACh curriculum in my first school, transforming the educational experience for autistic students.Focusing on my specialisation in Autism, I set up a satellite nursery to assess children for ASD, demonstrating my commitment to early intervention and tailored support. I then became Head of Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Key Stage 1 at an Autistic school in Hillingdon. With a clear passion for ASD, I was able to use my expertise to establish a new ASD school in Datchet, overseeing its rapid growth to accommodate over 50 students. My educational qualifications include an undergraduate degree in child psychology, a PGCE specialising in SEN and a Master’s degree in ASD in Education.Together we can create an environment that nurtures growth, celebrates individuality and transforms the lives of our students.DM to book a chat about all things SEN, would love to hear from you!
