I have worked in the field of education for over 30 years in a variety of professional roles. Much of my work has focused supporting teachers and leaders around behaviour, attendance and inclusive practice. I enjoy supporting colleagues in their demanding roles, being able to share knowledge, research and practical ideas to help their everyday practice. As a NPQ facilitator for Leading Behaviour and Culture I have been impressed by the commitment of the participants and their willingness to share their experiences in the peer learning groups.

I have spent all my teaching career working in special educational needs. I spent nearly a decade in the largest special school in Liverpool, working my way up from Teaching Assistant to Deputy Headteacher. Here, we catered for the needs of those pupils with an EHCP, diagnosis of Autism and other, additional needs. After completing the NASENCO award and Postgraduate Diploma in SEND, I decided to move over into mainstream education as Assistant Headteacher and SENCO at Notre Dame Catholic College. Here, we rapidly improved the provision for pupils and set up the Award-winning Flourish @ Notre Dame, the only Secondary SEN Unit in Liverpool. This September I moved over to Saint Edmund Arrowsmith Catholic Academy to start a new project of school improvement with regards to SEND, as I believe that if you improve SEN provision in a school, you improve the quality of teaching within the school. I am currently undertaking my NPQH and due to complete this early next year.
