Integrity – Growth – Helping Others

We live in a world full of ambitious, over-reaching, bio statements. I always feel uncomfortable being asked for mine. Always wonder what to include, what to leave out and what might be of interest.

Professionally, I’m enjoying being back in the classroom. I’ve been a teacher, headteacher and built The Leaders Team at Twinkl. I also worked with the leader’s content team at The Key for School Leaders, providing CPD and training for headteachers. I’ve always enjoyed playing an active role in the education community, contributing in a variety of ways from writing and presenting to just getting on with the job. I’m co-chair of governors at Woodlands Primary School in Sheffield and a trustee for The Learners’ Trust in Derbyshire.

In my spare time, I’m a dad to two teenage girls. I live in Sheffield, on the edge of the Peak District. I enjoy walking in the hills making the most of fresh air and space. I’m a lifelong cyclist, racing road, track and time trial. I also enjoy the audax (distance) scene. I organise and help with a range of events and have been involved in coaching.

I like to connect with others. Feel free to add, interact or message on Bluesky.
