I have worked in education as a teacher for 17 years, teaching in ICT, Business Studies and ComputerScience. I have previously led the Business Studies department at my previous school, and am currently.Head of Computer Science at Painsley Catholic College.
I have many years’ experience working in the pastoral side of education and have extensive experience working with children aged 8 – 18 inclusive. I have experience leading a team, with responsibility forstrategy and progress.
Additionally, I hold the role of NEU representative at our large secondary with a membership of over 70 members. I regularly have to support in difficult and unique situations, need tact, understanding and empathy to see situations from all sides.
I feel I could support the governing body in the social responsibilities of the school, technological challenge to both the curriculum and school infrastructure, and consideration of cyber-security issues that may be necessary.
