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 have taught at Buckden for 12 years, both as a class teacher, and Upper School Head. Whilst here, I have been responsible for leading PE and English. Whilst here, I have taught predominantly within year 5 and 6 but have had the opportunity to teach across the school from EYFS to year 6. 

Most recently, I have taken on the role of SENDCo and strive to continue embedding a whole school commitment to supporting our children with Special Educational Needs. Additionally, I am part of the Home School Hub team.
