She went on to complete a Postgraduate Certificate in Education with distinction at London Metropolitan University and has since gained extensive experience in teaching and school leadership. Committed to her own professional development, Emily has also completed a National Professional Qualification in Leading Teaching.
As Assistant Headteacher and Maths Lead, Emily is passionate about developing high-quality teaching and learning across the school.

She is committed to creating an inclusive and engaging learning environment where every child feels supported, develops confidence and has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
