Who/what inspired you to become a teacher?
I was inspired by my English teacher Mr Askham, he was an incredible English teacher, he unlocked my potential not only in the classroom but on the sports field. He was passionate and loved what he was doing, it was clear that he was achieving exactly what he was put on this planet to do. I was inspired, and hooked on the dream of teaching and developing the character of the next generation.
What achievement are you most proud of as Head?
I have so many moments to be proud of as both staff and students inspire me daily as they go about their business. However, the moment a group of students decided to produce a conference for all schools in Northamptonshire to tackle knife crime and county lines really sticks out. They designed and built the conference which was hosted at Northampton University. It included talks from the local MP, Police, Charities working at the chalk face and legal teams. The information received was used to produce the Northampton Schools Charter that would support the efforts to tackle knife crime and county lines. It was an incredible piece of work, shared and celebrated by the Educational Select Committee.
What does a successful school look like to you?
Successful schools are on a mission and see their vision in real time. The school would have strong leadership at all levels, with a strong cultural aspiration. Above all, students and staff would be happy.
What is the most important quality you want every child to have when they leave your school? And why?
Adaptability to thrive in a rapidly changing world, the ability to adapt to new situations and embrace change without fear is essential for lifelong learning and success. Ultimately, the goal is to nurture well-rounded individuals who are not only academically proficient but also possess the skills, values, and qualities needed to thrive in an ever-changing world and make positive contributions to society.
