I wish to offer myself for election to the Advisory Board to provide representative, accessible and considered input to the important decisions taken. We need to keep the child at the centre of our decision making processes and ensure that all strategy and considerations reflect the best possible structures, organisation and leadership for the benefit of our pupils. I support innovative, collegiate and transformative approaches to our educational structures and will ensure that I listen and act in the widest possible interest. I hope I am known for being inclusive and proactive in moving both individual schools and the wider system forward, and have tried to be open and approachable as a serving AB member. The AB needs to provide scrutiny and incisiveness to decision making, and I would be honoured to represent you and work on your behalf on the Board.
