I am delighted to step into the role of Interim Headteacher at Maiden Erlegh Chiltern Edge, a school that has been a central part of my professional journey since I joined in 2016. Over the years, I have been privileged to serve as Assistant Head and Deputy Head, working closely with our dedicated staff, ambitious students, and supportive community to drive the school’s continued development.

My teaching career began after completing a Geography degree at the University of Birmingham, followed by a PGCE. I started at Pershore High School, a thriving community-focused school, where I held a variety of leadership roles, including Head of Year, Deputy Head of Sixth Form, and Head of House. These experiences, alongside my commitment to personal and professional development, have shaped my leadership style and deepened my passion for inclusive, high-quality education.

At MECE, I am proud to have played a role in developing our curriculum and fostering a culture of ambition and care. From leading Duke of Edinburgh teams to supporting school concerts and productions, I have always believed in the value of extra-curricular opportunities to enrich students’ experiences and build their confidence.

As Interim Headteacher, I look forward to continuing to work with our students, staff, parents, and the Maiden Erlegh Trust to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive.
