I am motivated by what education can bring to young people as a fundamental building block for an economically successful life and a culturally diverse appreciation of the world. My experience and passion for exceptional leadership underpins my belief that great schools exist through great teachers and great teaching and this has driven my own “quality first” approach. I believe that my determination, tenacity and thirst for improvement mirror a quote by Jim Collins that motivates me daily ‘good is the enemy of great’.
