Company Director
As a former co-principal, John's expertise is centred around student wellbeing. As a founding director of the company, he is responsible for the strategic direction of our vision, assessment and data, teaching and learning, QA and curriculum, staffing, safeguarding and SEND.
Prior to starting Education Plus, I worked in senior and middle leadership positions for 14 of my 23 years of teaching. During my last 9 years, I worked as an Assistant Head Teacher for 4 years and Co-Principal for 5 years, responsible for whole school behaviour and climate. During this time, across 2 separate Ofsted inspections, judgements on student welfare were good or outstanding.
In addition to several external CPD qualifications, I hold an NPQH qualification as a specialist leader in education for behaviour and discipline. From July 2015 – July 2016, I was the Durham secondary head teachers’ representative on the Durham Local Safeguarding Children’s Board.
