As a highly skilled and experienced educational leader, I specialise in empowering leaders and teachers to drive improvement. With extensive expertise in leadership development, school improvement, and professional learning, I have a proven track record of building capacity to raise educational standards.I am an effective senior leader with a diverse range of school-based and broader educational experience. I currently lead a national network of primary schools, supporting teachers and leaders from infant, junior, and primary schools in addressing today’s educational challenges. Our membership offer includes in-school resources, comprehensive leadership training, and a wealth of tried-and-tested resources, tools, and frameworks. I also lead the design and delivery of all primary professional development, collaborating closely with individual schools to create bespoke, evidence-based programmes tailored to their unique contexts and needs. A key aspect of my role is engaging with various stakeholders, including school leaders, educators, and third-sector organisations, to align efforts and support impactful change that benefits schools nationwide.Prior to joining SSAT, I worked in a variety of settings and held senior leadership roles in the primary sector, including leading teaching, learning, and professional development across a Multi-Academy Trust; supporting schools across Kent as a consultant for the Local Authority and as an SLE; and teaching and leading in a range of primary schools.I welcome opportunities to connect with fellow educators, leaders, and organisations committed to driving positive change in schools.
