I am extremely proud to have taken the position of Headteacher at Colchester High School. With over 25 years of experience of working in education, most recently as Deputy Head at Leighton Park School, I firmly believe that good quality education has the power to change the lives of all individuals. I am passionate about building brighter futures for all children and to develop the qualities in our young people that will help them to reach their greatest potential: to have the strength of character to become the global change-makers of the future. Through an enriching and forward thinking curriculum that is focused on delivering academic excellence, developing character and nurturing a global perspective, I look forward to helping our pupils reach their full potential and improve the world for those around them.

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.
