I am an experienced school data professional and timetabler with 20 years of experience in the sector. I am currently Head of Data, Systems and Specialised Projects at Laidlaw Schools Trust, working across our 9 academies in the North East of England ensuring that we use information efficiently and effectively to support our students in achieving their full potential. During my career, I have led on various system implementations and migrations, managed a BSF IT managed service contract, worked as an integral part of senior leadership teams and used curriculum-led financial planning to drive curriculum and financial efficiencies. I have worked in schools in both challenging circumstances and demographic areas and have been part of several teams that have helped improve schools from OfSTED 'Inadequate' and ‘RI’ judgements to securing positive inspection outcomes.Connect with me to join our journey to transform children’s lives in the North East.
