I have 24 years' experience spanning independent, state, and international settings. I began my teaching career in co-ed primary schools and then moved to a mixed international school. I returned from my time overseas to a leadership position at an all-girls independent prep school, where I was bowled over by what a difference it makes to be able to educate girls in environments where they can thrive and there are no limits. By doing this, we are prioritising their voices, lifting them up so that they have the confidence to express themselves and developing a sense of agency and belief in themselves and their futures.
Role
My role as Head of the Junior School is to lead and direct the Junior School in close partnership with the Head. I aim to guide, motivate and inspire pupils and staff to achieve the best outcomes, academically and personally, through an exciting and challenging curriculum, co-curriculum and excellent pastoral care system.
