Assistant Headteacher
Being part of a leadership team in a child centered, nurturing environment is an exciting journey, and I am thrilled to take up the role in a school that matches my values of placing the young person at the heart of decisions, whilst promoting individual differences. My role at Brookthorpe Hall school will allow me to place into practice, my experience, and passion for inclusion. I cannot wait to meet you all!
Committed to inclusion with an empathetic approach and a desire to make a difference to young peoples educational journey, reducing barriers to engagement, I am driven to explore behaviour and support therapeutically in times of need.
After training as a teacher, I completed another degree in Cognitive Therapeutic Behavioural Approaches, and have further gained a Masters (MSc) in Psychology of Mental health & Wellbeing, with a focus on education. I am currently completing a National Professional Qualification (NPQ) in Leading Behaviour and Culture.
I have fulfilled roles as a Classroom Teacher, (teaching psychology and health), Head of 6th Form, Support for Learning Manager, Lecturer in Further Education, Assistant SENDCo, Curriculum Team Lead, Curriculum Manager, and supported young people from Reception to Secondary school. I have also held an Associate Psychology Lecturing role at university.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, yoga, mindfulness, and the outdoors.
