At Hartlepool Free School, we are dedicated to making a difference for every student. As a qualified Science Teacher and SENCo, I bring extensive experience in education, including roles as a senior leader and headteacher. I am passionate about supporting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Our values - Kindness, a Growth Mindset, Resilience, and Personal Responsibility - are at the heart of everything we do. We take a problem-solving approach and work in partnership with parents, young people, and the community to achieve the best outcomes for our students.
I also believe that Hartlepool Free School should be an integral part of the local community. By fostering strong relationships with local groups and businesses, we ensure our students actively engage in the world around them, preparing them for bright and successful futures.
Together, we can truly make a difference for Hartlepool.
