“
A life in education. A passion for public service. A belief in Britain.
I have spent my career working with young people and leading schools, convinced that education can transform lives and give every child the opportunity to fulfil their potential.
​
That experience has also given me a close-up view of the pressures facing families and communities, and a growing conviction that many of the challenges we face cannot be solved by schools alone.
​
I want to use what I have learned - in education, leadership and public life - to help build a country in which people have the opportunity to flourish, where families and communities are strong, and where we can have confidence in Britain’s future.
