✨Dream big. Always.
Haters will try to shrink your vision down to the size of their imagination. But your dream wasn’t given to them… it was given to YOU.

So when the noise comes… just tell them to shhh 👆🏾 while you keep chasing. 🚀

You’ll never feel completely ready for the next step, because the next step always comes with new challenges. Growth and comfort don’t live in the same space. Step forward anyway. 🚀

✨ 54 times around the sun ✨
Grateful for everything and everyone I have… but most of all, grateful for life itself. Too many didn’t make it to this age, so I don’t take a single day for granted. 🙏🏾 Here’s to many more years, more blessings, more love, and more life. 💫

💡 We all make bad decisions sometimes. It’s part of being human.
The key is not to beat yourself up… but to learn, grow, and move forward. Cut yourself some slack. That’s real strength.

Calm Leadership Lesson:
✨ Stop trying to fit into someone else’s box.
✨ Stop chasing their path.
✨ YOU are the blueprint.
Your authenticity is your superpower – nothing is stronger than showing up as the real YOU. 💥

Celebrating A-Level and GCSE results is one of the best parts of this job. The pride in our students, the relief on their faces, the gratitude to the staff who made it possible – those moments stay with you.

But not every results day feels that way. See my blog.

Leading Under Pressure: The Storm Will Come. Stay Calm.

The school dining hall is busy. Year 11 students fresh from opening their GCSE exam results now feverishly join queues of teenagers waiting to pick their subjects and enrol into our sixth form.
