Profile

My Background

I have been a teacher for over 15 years and have experience teaching from Pre-School up to KS2.

I am currently the Deputy Headteacher at Abbeymead Primary School.

The school has over 450 children on roll over 15 classes.

I have been a GlosEd leader since 2014 and have worked with a variety of schools across Gloucestershire on an individual basis developing individual programmes of support.

I have a passion for helping support the development of others so that there can be a positive, sustained impact on pupils.

I like to keep up to date with educational research, developments and changes and completed the NPQSL qualification in January 2018.
