A few words from our Director of Education
Sarah is a strategic, inclusive, and impact-focused education leader with a proven track record as a Director of Education, Headteacher, and Local Leader of Education. With extensive experience in systems leadership, school improvement, and cross-phase education, she is driven by a deep commitment to inclusive and aspirational learning for all. A qualified teacher and SENCo, Sarah brings specialist expertise in SEND, with a strong focus on neurodiversity and supporting autistic learners. She is an accredited SPELL trainer through the National Autistic Society, and has previously served as a PRICE instructor and Team Teach tutor—championing trauma-informed, autism-friendly practices across school systems.
I have had the privilege of leading and developing schools throughout my career and my role with ARC Schools allows me to bring to bear my skills in the vital areas of strategy, compliance and quality assurance.
​
I am passionate about culture and support Headteachers to develop a school where staff are empowered, students thrive and inclusion is embedded in every aspect of practice and policy. Whether leading schools, mentoring leaders or developing policy, I strive to bring clarity, compassion, and high standards to every endeavour.
