Following a number of years as a Design Engineer for Rolls-Royce, I have worked in the education sector for nearly 25 years as a Teaching Assistant, Teacher, Headteacher and System Leader. I have also spent three years as a Director for the National College of Education, an apprenticeship provider, supporting schools and Trusts.
As a Teaching School Director for OTSA, I led the professional development portfolio for circa 300 schools across Oxfordshire. I was also the Oxfordshire Teacher Recruitment Lead engaging Senior Leaders, Headteachers and CEOs at a local and national level. I have worked in a variety of settings, including primary, middle and secondary, as well as an international school.
I am a Fellow of the Charted College of Teaching (FCCT), a Chartered Manager (CMgr) and part of the Federation for Education Development (FED) Leadership group. I am also a member of the Education and Route Panel for IfATE and hold a Masters in Education.
