CEO, North Star Community Trust | Thought Leader in Education Reform



About Me



I lead a thriving multi-academy trust with a focus on inclusive excellence, trust-wide culture, and transforming life chances through education. My work spans nurseries to sixth form, and I believe in leadership that is visible, values-driven, and human.



What I Believe



  • All behaviour is communication — belonging comes before boundaries.
  • Trusts should earn the name — not assume it.
  • Culture outlasts strategy, but both need constant care.
  • Early years is the frontline of social equity.
  • Leadership must be brave, vulnerable, and rooted in values.
