I joined HMC in August 2020 after nine years as Head of the King’s School in Macclesfield, where I was also a pupil.
In that time, I led the Foundation’s 2020 vision, which transformed the split-site diamond school into a fully co-educational school operating from a new campus in one of the country’s largest school improvement projects.
After reading history at Christ Church, Oxford, I completed a doctorate on mid-nineteenth century Prussia at the universities of Oxford and Bonn.
Following this, my first permanent post was at Loughborough Grammar School as Head of History before becoming Head of History and Humanities at Oakham School.
I have been Chair of Trustees at the Macclesfield Music Centre and involved in various groups supporting the town’s regeneration.
I have also been a member of HMC’s PD Committee as well as Chair and Secretary of the North West Division. I am a governor and former ISI inspector.
