Since qualifying as a teacher nearly 30 years ago, I have worked in three different Surrey secondary schools (Therfield, St Bede’s, de Stafford) and completed my National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) in 2009. My current role as Executive Headteacher involves overseeing the performance of two GLF secondary schools, de Stafford and Merstham Park.

I am particularly interested in the educational experience of Neurodiverse students and students who find it difficult to access education to ensure that they have access to opportunities to ensure they achieve success. I am pleased and honoured to work closely with de Stafford school.
