What did you do prior to becoming headmaster of Cardinal Pole Catholic School?

I started my career in 2007 teaching Religious Studies, before becoming Head of RE at the Ursuline Academy Ilford in 2009. In 2014 I moved to Cardinal Pole as an assistant headteacher, before becoming deputy headteacher two years later. I was appointed headteacher in September 2022.  

What is your subject and do you still teach at all?

As well as Religious Studies, I have also taught Philosophy at A-level. I still teach a small GCSE group in the final run up to public exams. Students are never sure if it’s a good thing or not to be taught by the Head, however it really is the best part of the job!
