My Story
In 2009, I graduated from Liverpool Hope University with a 2:1 BA (QTS). I later became a primary school teacher in South Leeds and was quickly promoted to EYFS leader and phonics lead. In 2015, I became the Assistant Headteacher, responsible for KS1, Assessment, and Safeguarding at an inner-city school in South Leeds. During this time, I had my own children, and following my second maternity leave, I was promoted to a seconded position of Deputy Head.
​
In September 2022, I embarked on a new chapter in the independent education sector. I was appointed Head of Early Years at Woodhouse Grove School. It was a privilege to lead and manage the department, inspire the team, and drive improvements to successfully complete an inspection.
In September 2024, I opened Little Classroom, a small independent educational program to address the national school readiness crisis and improve educational outcomes for primary school children. The goal was to establish a tuition learning centre that caters to younger children with an educational program that incorporates learning through play to build children's confidence and support their individual learning journey.​​
