and education and has published widely on behaviour, inclusion and spirituality.
She teaches on the UK’s professional training programme for headteachers

key note speaker at professional conferences and in the media on issues
of spirituality, morality, inclusion, values and leadership. Her latest

how a Headteacher might create a climate that promotes an inclusive school
rooted in community values.
