Strategic School Improvement Lead

With 23 years in education, including 17 years in senior leadership and 8 years as a headteacher, I bring a deep commitment to improving teaching and learning.

Previously head of one of the founding schools, I joined the central team as Strategic School Improvement Lead in November 2024 to focus on driving positive, lasting change across our schools. As a qualified coach and chair of the Stoke-on-Trent Primary Heads' Network, I’m dedicated to supporting educators and advancing school improvement.

I also serve as a school governor in Stoke-on-Trent and as a Director for a Multi-Academy Trust in Wolverhampton, drawing on a strong record of leadership and a passion for continuous growth.
