“Every day within our academies, we aspire to be the best version of ourselves at all times. My staff and students make me smile, they make me proud and I wouldn’t want to work anywhere else as we are all committed to excellence and achieving the best for our students within our care. To be part of something special, is to be part of Affinity Learning Partnership”.

I moved to Granville Academy in 2020 to take up my second headship, bringing me closer to home and to a new Trust.  I am proud of what we have achieved over the last five years.  Our results are testament of the hard work and commitment that all stakeholders have shown in our passion to make a difference and serve our community.  It has been a joy to work with such committed staff and students.   Every year we made great strides and we remain determined to provide a level of excellence in all that we do. Now, in 2025, I am excited to take up the Executive Principal role, overseeing Granville Academy whilst taking up the substantive Principal post at The Pingle Academy. This is an amazing opportunity to bring the talent, skills and ambition together as we begin a new era of true collaboration in which Pingle can thrive and I am looking forward to leading the students to successful outcomes and successful futures.
