I am delighted to lead the staff team at the Abbey school.  I am passionate about providing high-quality primary education for all children in our care, challenging and supporting them along the way.

I have been the Head teacher and Deputy Head in other local schools and know the beautiful North Dorset area very well. Please say hello if you see me around the school!

As the DSL for the school, please contact me if yo have any safeguarding concerns.
