Previous teaching experience and work with children : I worked for the London Borough of Merton as a Leading Maths Teacher focussing across the junior year groups of a large primary school. From London I moved to Suffolk Local Authority as a Primary Mathematics Consultant where I supported First, Primary, Junior and Middle Schools to develop their mathematics provision.

I was delighted to be appointed Headteacher in 2009 following the retirement of Miss Cook and am thoroughly enjoying the role.
