Personal Profile

I was appointed by the governing body in April 2015. I am a co-opted member of North East Lincolnshire Council Children and Young People Scrutiny Panel and was appointed in December 2015. I am a loyal and caring person who has a genuine interest in making a difference to the lives of young children. My great life experiences and varied work commitments mean I am able to relate to a wide range of people. My strengths are that I am eager to learn, enjoy overcoming challenges and possess excellent communication skills. I consider myself good humoured and can work well under pressure.

Personal Profile

I have been Headteacher at WBJ since 2009. Previous to this I have worked as Acting Head, Deputy and Assistant Head and, of course, class teacher across 4 schools in 2 different Local Authorities. I am passionate about giving children every opportunity to be the best version of themselves.
In addition to the privilege of headship I also work with a wide variety of schools, am a Local Leader in Education and have delivered training through both Outwood and Huntington Research School. I am a coach of Women Leaders in Education and also support new to post Headteachers. As a pupil premium reviewer, I not only review but also support better practice. I work as a Governor for another local school and collaborate with a wide range of educational professionals.
My roles are extremely fulfilling but the one above all others is working within WBJ with its passionate and wonderful children.

Personal Profile

What drives me to work within schools is the desire to ensure every child has access to not only fabulous academic teaching but also the arts, in particular Music. I am a musician and spent many years as Head of the Local Music Hub. I requested to be a Governor at William Barcroft Junior School as it was obvious that this school provided musical opportunities in an area of musical deprivation. There is a relentless drive to find a seed of musical interest in every child to enable them to shine
