Chris Rowbottom
Secondary Principal
I have worked in the Secondary Education Sector for the last 25 years in a variety of schools. My leadership experience extends across several schools in different contexts for the last 15 years. I have performed leadership roles at all levels, ranging from my initial experience as an Assistant Headteacher, through to Associate Headteacher and Consultant Associate Headteacher more recently.
I completed the NPQH qualification in 2017 and prior to that have worked as a Specialist Leader in Education. My initial leadership experience involved working with the pastoral group to develop reliable and effective behaviour management systems. More recently I have worked across all aspects of leadership and have taken significant responsibility for improvement planning and strategic direction.
I believe schools should have high expectations, provide excellent pastoral support, deliver effective teaching and demand high standards. If these elements are present, along with a range of enrichment and extra-curricular opportunities, then students can develop as they wish and flourish.
