Helen has worked in three trusts since entering the teaching profession in 2006, two of which have been at senior leadership level. Prior to this, Helen worked as a senior leader in the retail sector within logistics and distribution; her role leading systems and training projects led to the decision to train as a teacher. Since that point, Helen has become an established leader, gathering a range of experience across schools within two Local Authorities with varying contexts, including standalone academies and growing multi academy trusts. Helen has a Batchelor of Arts with second class (upper division) honours in English and Music, PGCE, NASENCO, NPQML, and most recently the NPQH.
