Charlotte started her career at Leigh Primary School as an NQT in 1999 and progressed to Deputy before moving onto Headship. She was previously a Maths Specialist Leader of Education and supported a number of schools across the city helping to improve standards in teaching and learning for Maths. Charlotte believes that children are at the heart of everything we do and is passionate about providing high quality education for all.

Charlotte is Leigh Trust’s Behaviour and Curriculum Lead and also holds the position of Executive Head Teacher at both Alston and Leigh Primary Schools. Over the past five years, Charlotte has played a significant role in supporting schools in Special Measures and has helped them to overcome a wide range of barriers, ensuring that rapid improvements are made. She has considerable strengths, having a clear understanding of school data, identifying underachievement and has supported colleagues in taking swift action to improve the performance of staff and children. Prior to supporting both schools, Charlotte was the Head Teacher of Alston Primary School.
