I have been Head Teacher for the last 15 years and in Primary teaching for over 25 years. Before becoming a Head I had taught across the primary phase and have led each key stage (EY, KS1 and KS2). I was Early Years lead whilst I was a Deputy Head before becoming a Head in 2008. I have led two schools over the last 15 years and have also worked for the LA supporting other schools in a role as a local leader in education (LLE).My personal and leadership skills have developed significantly and I have always tried to lead in each role in the same way, putting the children first and by always asking the question, why? If it hasn't been beneficial to the children's outcomes, safety and wellbeing, I have resisted doing it.
