Providing connections and support for educational settings and businesses
About ConnectED
My background
I am an experienced school leader with over 25 years working in schools and currently a successful executive head teacher in the South West of England. I am passionate about learning and am always looking for innovative ways to support schools to be the best they can be. I enjoy the opportunity to collaborate and through ConnectEd I help schools, businesses, charities, and NGOs successfully connect so that children and young people can experience a wide range of opportunities to help them to be the best they can be and prepare them for the future. I work closely with a variety of stakeholders to support the development and sharing of outstanding educational resources and content in line with school and curriculum requirements, particularly for primary ages 2-11. I believe in the power of pupil voice and throughout all my work ensure that children are heard. To date I have successfully supported a number of organisations and schools worldwide including school improvement and staff development sessions. I recently presented to the UK Parliament's Education Select Committee and Westminster Forums regarding career related learning in primary schools, something I am particularly passionate about. I support schools by delivering face to face and online training/coaching sessions to develop pedagogy and teacher/leadership skills, while supporting businesses and charities in developing and integrating educational products, resources, initiatives or ideas. In 2024 I launched Wellbeing Walks, a recognition of the power of the outdoors to refresh and recalibrate the mind. - details below.
