With over 20 years of experience in the education sector, I am a dedicated professional committed to fostering an inclusive learning environment for all students. As a former Headteacher and a qualified Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo), I have developed extensive knowledge and expertise in supporting students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

I possess extensive experience in drafting and reviewing Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), ensuring they are tailored to the individual needs of students and compliant with legislative requirements. I have established strong connections with specialists and external agencies, facilitating coordinated support and services as outlined in EHCPs. My commitment to engaging with parents is paramount; I ensure their voices are heard and foster collaborative relationships to support their child's needs.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led diverse teams, ensuring career progression and professional development for staff while maintaining comprehensive records. My leadership experience has equipped me with the skills to effectively manage resources and implement strategies that enhance outcomes.

I am knowledgeable in educational policies and regulations, ensuring that all processes adhere to legislative requirements. I manage my time well and am adept at working independently and remotely whilst thriving in collaborative environments while building strong relationships with colleagues, parents, and external stakeholders.

I am currently seeking a position within a local authority or a similar role, where I can leverage my extensive experience and dedication to support students and their families.

I look forward to bringing my expertise to your team.

I look forward to bringing my expertise to your team.

Over my 20-year career in education, I have taught in both mainstream primary education and specialist settings, supporting pupils with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. I began my SENCO career at a school in Barking and Dagenham, where I later advanced to the position of Primary Principal. During my 7 years there, I focused on enhancing educational outcomes and fostering an inclusive atmosphere.

My experience spans four different local authorities, during which I served as the SENCO for two schools while also supporting improvements in SEN provision at another institution.

I am eager to leverage my expertise and dedication in a new opportunity that allows me to continue making a positive impact in the field of education.

My most recent educational achievement was in 2018 when I completed the NASENCO qualification. Prior to that, I qualified as a teacher in 2012. I hold a 2:1 degree in Facilitating Learning and Development, which I obtained from the University of East London.
