I am passionate about education and committed to helping our pupils be the best they can be.

I’ve been privileged in my career to work in a variety of education roles. I have been a teacher, a headteacher, a local authority adviser, senior lecturer in education, and immediately prior to joining EMAT, was aHis Majesty’s Inspector with Ofsted for five years. All of these roles help me in my current work.

I’m extremely proud to be EMAT’s Head of Education, working closely with the pupils, staff, leaders and governors of our wonderful community of schools. I know everyone at EMAT is committed to making a difference to young people – both in their achievements in school, their personal development and preparing them for their future lives and success.
