CEO

Judith has a wide and varied career in many different areas of education. She started her career in Herefordshire teaching in secondary schools, with a particular focus on pupils with special educational needs. Moving to Oxfordshire in the mid-1990s, Judith developed her skill set to include advisory work for the Local Authority on behavior and inclusion, both categories, which in turn led to her becoming a successful primary headteacher in Oxfordshire, including executive Headships and Advisory work. Also in her work experience, there was a period when she worked as a writer in a writing service, which in turn helped her to better understand students and pupils, their requests such as " write my discussion post for me " and to improve her professional skills and writing.

Then, she returned to Herefordshire as a Local Authority School Improvement Advisor and worked with several schools across the county with a focus on improving teaching and learning, NQT’s and Assessment. She is an accredited OFSTED inspector and is passionate about supporting schools in order to gain the best possible outcome for all pupils.
