My first teaching post was at Queen Elizabeth High School, Hexham, where I eventually secured the positions of Deputy Head of Sixth Form and Head of Chemistry. In 2003 I moved, as Director of Science, to a Sunderland school where I eventually became Deputy Head. I joined Harton Academy in September 2010 and as an advanced skills teacher and lead practitioner have carried out considerable outreach work within the authority and was designated as an SLE in January 2012. I have since become a member of the leadership team at the academy where my main responsibilities are Assessment Reporting and Recording and Teaching and Learning. I have also been lead facilitator for the SLE core training since 2015.

I have been teaching for twenty six years, eighteen of them at Harton Academy. I was Head of English for ten years, before becoming an AST. In this role, I have worked with a number of schools and with students from the age of nine to sixteen to promote the development of teaching and learning. As well as being appointed as an SLE I have recently been accredited as an Outstanding Facilitator by the National College and will be delivering the Improving Teacher Programme to colleagues in the North East.
