I'm Vice Principal at Ron Dearing University Technical College which opened in September 2017 in Hull.Ron Dearing UTC has recently been judged by Ofsted as Outstanding in all areas under the latest school inspection framework.We specialise in Digital Technology and Mechatronics. I passionately believe that education should prepare young people for the world of work. Our UTC is doing this through working in direct partnership with Siemens Gamesa, Spencer Group, RB, Smith & Nephew, KCOM, Arco, Orsted, BP and The University of Hull.I have over 10 years experience of being a Senior Leader in schools around Hull and East Yorkshire. I also enjoyed a 12 month secondment as Headteacher of The Hub AP School. My remit was extensive. I revamped the curriculum, transformed teaching and learning, improved attendance and behaviour, oversaw a staffing restructure and ensured the school was on a sound financial footing. I'm now enjoying working as a consultant to a variety of educational settings including UTCs and Post-16 providers. This consultancy work centres around the preparation for Ofsted inspection and pays particular attention to curriculum planning and deep dives. I'm also the Contingent Commander of Ron Dearing UTC Combined Cadet Force.
