I am extremely proud to have been at Colchester High School since 2004, originally as a teacher of Mathematics, and then as Director of Studies, before becoming Principal in January 2010. As a result of this varied experience, I have a thorough understanding of how each area of the school works, and how the pupils benefit from the outstanding education we offer. Qualifications: MEd BSC (Hons) BA (Hons) PGCE

I worked at Colchester High School for ten very happy years as Head of Lower School and, after a two year break, I am delighted to return as Deputy Head Teacher.  I value the supportive and caring school community which encourages the very best outcomes for all our pupils.  

I am really pleased to hold the position of Assistant Head Teacher, a role which encompasses all the aspects of being an education professional, about which I am passionate. Over the course of my career I have taught in both the state and independent sectors, as well as holding positions of responsibilities within the Humanities faculties.  I am proud to have spent a number of years at Colchester High School, during which I have helped train staff, developed and maintained an excellence in education approach and successfully led the Teaching and Learning Team.  Aside from all the activities I have organised or delivered to support high quality education provision, by far the most important satisfaction for me has been seeing students achieve and progress.  In my role of Assistant Head Teacher, I am committed to ensuring the students will progress, develop a love of learning and achieve academic excellence.

I am delighted to have joined Colchester High School as the Business Manager.  Previously I worked in London as a Credit Derivatives Financial Controller and look forward to working in such an amazing school with a fantastic team of dedicated and passionate people.
