Prior to training as a teacher I studied for a degree in the History of Art and Architecture at Warwick University, leading to a Masters degree in Architectural History at UEA, Norwich

My education experience includes teaching all ages from Nursery through to Post 16 provision, including serving as a Headteacher (since 2003), school improvement partner and adviser (following completion of National College Local Leader of Educations programme in 2011), Visiting Fellow for Ambition Institute supporting the Early Career Framework programme with a focus on Special Educational Needs and as a specialist Adviser to the NPQ programmes – Behaviour and Care and NPQH programmes.  My career has been focused in Norfolk and East Anglia, in various schools serving a range of communities from inner city schools, to rural communities affected by rural deprivation and under-resourcing, to schools in significant need in coastal deprivation zones.  My school improvement and support work has focused on transforming schools, supporting new/aspirant leaders as well as those where challenges following Ofsted needed rapid support.
