I have been a teacher here at Buckden since 2007 and have seen the school go through many changes. I joined the Senior Leadership Team in 2014 and have worked alongside Alison Anderson, the CEO of ACT Trust, as firstly her Assistant Head and then her Deputy. In 2023, I became the Headteacher, as we became the sponsor school for ACT Academy Trust. I am very proud of all that we have achieved here at Buckden for our children. We will continue to strive with the excellent team I have around me to ensure that our children have the skills, knowledge and understanding, to move with confidence to the next stage of their education. 

I joined Buckden in 2011 and have worked as a class teacher, language specialist and as Upper School Head.  I have had the opportunity to teach from EYFS to Year 6 as a language teacher and in both key stages as a class teacher. More recently, I have become one of the Assistant Headteachers, and I really enjoy being part of the team to lead the school and being part of its strategic direction.

More recently, I helped develop our new curriculum, ensuring it aligns to the National Curriculum and the UN Sustainable Goals. I am passionate about our curriculum and have worked hard with our Eco Council to attain an Eco Award with distinction. 

In my spare time, I enjoy walking, boxing and spending time with my family. 

I joined Buckden in 2014 and have worked both as a class teacher, science specialist and Lower School Head.  I have taught across the school and more recently I have become one of the assistant headteachers. It is a great opportunity to be able to continue to ensure that Buckden is a great school to be part of and to gain the best education.

More recently, I helped develop our new curriculum, ensuring it aligns to the National Curriculum and the UN Sustainable Goals. I am passionate about our curriculum and have enjoyed embedding science into it for children, exposing them to the wonders of the natural world.
