Following a football apprenticeship at Bradford City AFC, I started my career in education as a Teacher of Physical Education at Aston Comprehensive School in Rotherham. I progressed to be a Head of Physical Education at King Edward VII School in Melton Mowbray and during my time there qualified as an Advanced Skills Teacher.
In 2003, I was appointed to my first senior post, as an Assistant Headteacher, at Bridlington School, in charge of teaching and learning. Following this, I moved to Highfields School in Matlock as Deputy Headteacher, before being appointed to my first headship in 2013 at Woodbrook Vale School in Loughborough.
I have been Headteacher at Lady Manners School since April 2019. I am proud to lead this excellent school and continue to be enthused by its outstanding potential. I am particularly impressed with our students who represent the school with distinction across so many areas. I want them all to aspire and thrive in our inclusive environment and to become lifelong learners in whatever sphere their unique talents lie.
I look forward to working closely with staff, students, governors and our wider school community in making our school excel across all aspects of provision.
