This vision relates to me personally because, with my multinational and multilingual background, I grew up in Paris (France) and succeeded in my professional life in Birmingham. As the son of immigrant parents, I strongly advocate for all students, especially those from migrant backgrounds, to have access to the highest quality education. I have always been committed to ensuring that high academic standards are achieved for all students.

One example is when I led a team of teachers in developing a school-wide curriculum aligned with state standards of DFE in the UK concerning incorporating whole-school catch-up literacy after the pandemic. During summer school, which I oversaw, we worked collaboratively to identify areas where students struggled and developed targeted interventions, securing Pupil Premium funding to support their learning. After weeks of rigorous T&L strategies and establishing a SOW, I implemented data-driven assessments to monitor student progress and the results of the CAT test. Our school saw a significant increase in student achievement and a substantial reduction in the gap between chronological and reading age.

As my own life chances were shaped by exceptional educators who believed in my potential in France and the UK, so I am now deeply committed to paying this forward by ensuring every child can achieve more than they ever thought possible!
