I have been in Education for 20 years in the West Yorkshire region working at schools in Leeds, Bradford and Rastrick. During this time I have been a senior leader for 13 years, six years as an Assistant Head Teacher, five years as a Deputy Head Teacher in charge of Raising standards and currently as the Head of School at Rastrick High school. I am a strong believer in a student-centred school, with the belief that everyone has the right to learn and flourish in a safe and engaging environment. This is driven by outstanding practice in teaching and learning and a collective culture of support for all.

My role is supporting staff, to ensure ‘teaching is mostly outstanding and never less than good’. To support staff, we provide an outstanding CPD programme to ensure staff are up-to-date with the most recent research, and can apply this to their everyday practice.
