Based at Truro School, I’m the Core Maths Pedagogy Lead for our Hub and a former Head of School at St Ives. With over 15 years’ experience, I’m passionate about empowering teachers, strengthening pedagogy, and fostering collaboration that drives excellence in maths education and improves outcomes for students across the region.

I first got involved with CODE as a Mastery Advocate and I now lead the Years 5-8 Continuity Work Group. It has been extremely rewarding to collaborate with primary colleagues to develop a deeper understanding of the learning that takes place prior to Year 7.

Since becoming a LLME, I have had the opportunity to collaborate and network with maths specialists from a wide range of backgrounds. These experiences have enriched my own understanding and practice in teaching mathematics...especially when I get to use one of one of my favourite resources, the Numberblocks!

I began teaching over 10 years ago and have been my school's maths coordinator for the last 5 years. Having worked with the Maths Hub and completed LLME training, I am passionate about supporting others to build confidence, deepen understanding, and most importantly, enjoy teaching mathematics.

I’m currently Teaching and Learning Lead for my trust. I’ve always had a passion for maths, and being an LLME and using the Teaching for Mastery approach to help other teachers create inclusive and effective classrooms is the best job in the world (apart from race car driver!)

As Maths Lead for my trust and a NCETM PD/School Development Lead, I have appreciated the many fantastic CPD opportunities offered by being an LLME including visiting China. I value the collaborative nature of being a LLME whilst also being kept up to date with National initiatives and cutting-edge practice.
