Appointed as the Chief Executive Officer when Areté Learning Trust came into fruition in April 2015, I am committed to realising the benefits of strong collaboration between our academies, rooted in the principles outlined in our Scheme of Delegation:
- creative partnership, open dialogue & shared resources providing more than the sum of their parts
- excellence in leadership, pedagogy, training, development and support shared effectively to secure a positive impact on the lives of the greatest number of children and young people
- a culture in which children and young people, regardless of their starting point or setting, have the right to an outstanding education, and, most importantly, one that prepares them to thrive as enterprising, global citizens in a fast-changing world.
I draw on extensive experience in senior leadership in a variety of schools in different parts of the country and a passionate belief in the power of education to transform the lives of young people.
