I have recently retired as a Headteacher after 22 years. NAACE had played an enormous part in the development of the schools I have worked in. The ERF was used in each as the foundation for school improvement and development, underpinning not only the curriculum but the strategic leadership and management throughout. The progressive and supportive nature of the ERF, has made improvement planning seamless, fully integrating the use of technology.
Each school achieved the Naace Mark, 3rd Millennium Learning Award. My first Headship was at a small rural primary school in South Shropshire where we won Becta’s Excellence award for ‘ Best Primary in the Country,’ proving how technology can be used in rural communities. I have been a member of Naace for over 20 years, and am a Naace Mark Assessor.
I am Vice- Chair of Governors at my local primary school. I have recently been appointed as a County Councillor as well as completing an MBA, focusing on the role of Management Information Systems in schools.
