Senior Leadership Team

---

 Principal 

 I feel privileged to have the post of Principal at Padgate Academy and to be able to be a part of shaping the future of education in our area in a time of significant and rapid change. 

I am optimistic about the future of the academy – as we have a very strong team with a wide range of skills and experiences who are all focused on the needs of every individual in our schools.

Since becoming a leader, my passion and motivation for learning has not changed. 

I still view myself as both a ‘teacher’ and a ‘learner’ as I have never stopped learning and want children and staff to be as enthused as I am about this exciting process. 

I believe very strongly in developing leadership at all levels and work closely with the Trust to strengthen and develop all our leaders.
