Having qualified as a teacher in 1974 I taught in Primary schools in Nottingham, Sunderland and Leicestershire before moving to London in 1985. There I taught in the London Borough of Redbridge for three years before taking up a Deputy Headship in the London Borough of Waltham Forest in 1988. I was promoted to Headteacher in 1992 and continued there until 2000 when I was seconded as a Consultant to a school in Special Measures. I continued in Headship in a three-form entry Primary school in Redbridge for two years, bringing it out of Serious Weaknesses during my tenure.

I left Headship in 2004 to pursue various activities in Education.
