About

I consider myself a strategic and impact-driven senior leader who served as Associate Assistant Principal (Intervention) and Teacher of Mathematics. Experienced in leading whole-school intervention strategy, behaviour systems, and data-informed school improvement across Key Stages 3 and 4. I specialise in raising standards through targeted academic and pastoral intervention, staff coaching, inclusive curriculum leadership, and structured behaviour systems.

My leadership approach is rooted in high expectations, accountability, collaboration, and positive culture. I am committed to ensuring every student—regardless of starting point—achieves strong outcomes and develops the character to succeed beyond school.
