Honoured to be invited to the Royal Garden Party in recognition of my work in education. Grateful to my parents who sacrificed everything, and to the teachers who believed in me when I didn’t speak a word of English. This is the power of education. #RoyalGardenParty

After 10 incredible years, I’ll be leaving TMET at the end of this year. I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved together. A new chapter begins as I launch my consultancy to support schools more widely, driven by the same moral purpose. Thank you to everyone for their well wishes.❤️

After 25 years in education, I’m proud to launch School Improvement Service, a consultancy offering tailored support and tangible impact. Driven by purpose, built on experience. Let’s create real, lasting change together. siservice.co.uk
