Paul is a values-led education leader with a deep belief in the power of collaboration to improve outcomes for all learners. With over two decades of experience across Primary and Secondary education, he has worked alongside schools in Essex, Havering, Barking & Dagenham and Tower Hamlets to strengthen leadership, raise the quality of teaching, and drive sustainable improvement.
A former senior leader in five schools, including two successfully moved out of Special Measures and one rated Outstanding, Paul brings real-world insight, strategic thinking and a calm, collaborative approach to the challenges schools face. He has played a pivotal role in developing trust-wide education frameworks, mentoring new leaders, and supporting schools to refine their evaluation processes and improvement planning.
Paul is also a qualified NPQH leader and expert facilitator, known for his engaging and practical approach to developing others. From leading national qualifications to delivering tailored sessions for headteachers, ECTs, and governors, his training style is grounded in real classroom and leadership experience, shaped by the needs of each school.
Beyond education, Paul brings leadership development expertise from the private sector — where he works with C-suite teams in London and Dublin on change management, resilience and high-performing teams. This cross-sector perspective informs his work with school leaders, helping teams reflect, reset, and move forward with shared purpose.
Paul serves as governor at two primary schools and sits on strategic boards supporting system leadership and teacher development. He brings a global curiosity to his work, having welcomed international delegations and established connections with leaders in China, the US and UAE.
Driven by an inclusive vision and a firm belief in growing leadership at every level, Paul’s work is rooted in evidence, experience, and a shared commitment to the success of all young people.
