Proud CEO of Infinity Academies Trust based in Lincolnshire. Governor at Boston College, Trustee of LAPacademies & Chair of Lincolnshire Schools Forum.
We are so proud of all that we achieve across INFINITY ACADEMIES TRUST for our children and their families. It’s time that as educational professionals we start to share more widely the breadth of the work we do and how we support communities. schoolsweek.co.uk/why-more-sch...
Why I've changed my mind about courting media attention
The response to a BBC story about our school has taught me we should do much better at telling our story

A rewarding two days taking pupils to a community archeological dig project - it’s made me wonder how to create more links with experts for KS2… 🤔 #edusky #PrimaryEd

🧵 4/4 A very pleased Education Director. There is no staff whiteboard at this school so I leave a hand written note instead.

🧵 3/ The high needs children are expertly looked after by the school staff and a former office space has been converted at minimal cost to this delightful sensory room. Could have sat here all day!

A CEO once said one of the most important things that CEOs and their Directors do is develop the skills of Executive leaders who work in their organisation or the wider sector.
So no pressure in stepping forwards to facilitate the LEAD TS Hub Lincs Executive Headship Programme on Thursday.

Great day with the Diocese of Lincoln CEO network. Brilliant to be joined by L.A. colleagues to discuss SEND challenges and opportunities.
