About Me

From the very start of her teaching career, Emma’s passion for Primary and Early Years education has been unmistakable. Even as an NQT, her drive to lead, improve, and embed lasting change within schools was clear. Today, she brings that same determination to every setting she supports.

Over the last five years, Emma has broadened her school improvement work across the North West of England — supporting Headteachers, Trust leaders and EYFS practitioners to move from “good enough” to “exceptional.” She believes in the best every day for every child.

Her reach extends across all types of provision: maintained, academy, special, PVI, and independent. Her strength lies in personalising every improvement plan to the demographics and distinct needs of each school. With up-to-date insight into EYFS and Primary practice, Emma sees the gaps in programmes before they appear — helping schools embed success, not just react to problems.

Alongside her professional expertise, Emma thrives in academic spaces. She is currently undertaking her PhD in Education, combining it with the NPQEL (nearly complete), and holds a Master’s in Education and Leadership with a focus on Inclusion in the mainstream primary context. She has a BEd (Hons) in Primary Education from Moray House (now part of Edinburgh University), NEBOSH certification in managing educational establishments, and is a Fellow of the Chartered College of Teaching. She supports other professionals through final placement NPQH mentoring and is also an assessor for the Chartered College Leadership Qualification.

Emma is a co-opted governor at a Wirral primary school and sits on the board of Oak Trees Multi-Academy Trust, where she was a founding leader.
