At Hartlepool Free School, we are dedicated to making a difference for every student. As a qualified Science Teacher and SENCo, I bring extensive experience in education, including roles as a senior leader and headteacher.

I am passionate about supporting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. Our values - Kindness, a Growth Mindset, Resilience, and Personal Responsibility - are at the heart of everything we do.

We take a problem-solving approach and work in partnership with parents, young people, and the community to achieve the best outcomes for our students.
