As Headteacher of St Edward’s Catholic Primary School since Sep 2020, I am also a member of the Governing Body. Previous to this, I was Headteacher and a Governor for 14 years at both St Winefride’s in Manor Park and St Mary’s in Hornchurch. I became a teacher in Sep 1996, following a successful career in the City of London, working as an International Sugar Trader for Tate and Lyle Sugars.
I am delighted to work with our Governors, helping to shape the strategic vision of our school and ensure that we keep improving in every aspect. We represent the community of staff, parents/ carers and parishioners to develop our pupils as confident, happy, secure young people, willing to engage in sharing their faith, culture and beliefs. We work closely with our partners in the Multi Academy Trust and other local schools.
We look to create our school as a happy, caring, spiritual, respectful and hardworking environment, with the Catholicity at the heart of everything we do. We develop the staff so that they can utilise their skills to enable the children in their care to recognise their true potential and talents. As a Catholic community, we endeavour to celebrate the successes of our children in all areas of school life, with Jesus at our heart.
Our vision for the school is that we develop the ‘whole child’ to ensure that the needs of every one of our children are met and that each child is given a wealth of experience and opportunities across the whole curriculum.
