With 18 years' experience in educational leadership, I have worked in both Senior Independent, Prep School and State Secondary Schools. I have led at a senior level both pastorally (DSL) and academically. I hold particular strengths in leading whole school strategic change and financial management. I enjoy working on and developing a sustainable vision, which is attractive to all stake holders. I am an empathetic leader who enjoys working collaboratively with colleagues and I lead in a collegiate manner. I have developed and written robust appraisal systems in different schools that lead to excellence in a supportive and constructive manner.In my most recent role as Head, I managed a substantial budget income and 92 staff. I made robust sustainable decisions enabling the school to move forward more economically. I created a new pay scale salary system working alongside independent specialists. I have researched and developed many forward thinking curriculums from whole school STEAM projects to whole school outdoor learning programmes. I enjoy speaking publicly and I have presented to staff for many years during INSET training. I enjoyed presenting to parents as Head, communicating weekly with parents across the whole school. I consider myself a charismatic and inspirational leader who strives for excellence. I am thoughtful and reflective always seeking feedback so that I can continue to engage others positively. My communication, organisation and presentation skills are highly refined. Marketing to a budget, working creatively to problem solve and delivering sound decisions on a daily basis are what I have enjoyed over the last few years in Senior Leadership in the educational settings that I have worked. I now look forward to what the future holds, taking this experience and skill set forward.
