I'm a qualified accountant and independent consultant specialising in school funding and education finance, with over thirty years experience in local authority education work including ten years as an Assistant Director. Between 2007 and 2015 I was a member of DfE's advisory group on school funding. I advise schools and local authorities on school funding and achieving value for money in order to support better outcomes and enable children and young people to maximise their potential, something I'm passionate about.
Everyone deserves the best possible education and we all need to use taxpayers' money wisely, to achieve a fair chance for every single pupil.
With a background in accountancy and seventeen years experience I fulfil a broad, strategic role as Director of Corporate Services in a large secondary school leading on all aspects of school organisation and SMSC. My experience as a Specialist Leader of Education offering school to school support has widened my perspective of the challenges faced by schools and the potential solutions to those challenges.
I passionately believe that every child has the right to a high quality education and that we all have a part to play in achieving this ideal.
