I am passionate about young people achieving success and for them to understand that having additional needs is not a barrier to achieving their full potential in education.
Often when young people arrive here at Spring Brook, they have had a negative experience of education. It is important to me that they have a positive experience here and that they feel a part of our Spring Brook family.
During my time at Spring Brook I feel privileged to have been a part of significant change both in the ethos and vision for the school and in the developing topic based new and exciting curriculum at Key Stage 3.
I am proud to lead this school to be the best provision for SEMH students that it can be.
