Our Director's Mission

As a former headteacher, with 30 years’ experience in education — including transforming a large inner-city London primary school from Requires Improvement to Outstanding in just two years — I founded Head First in 2018, with a clear mission: 

To put Heads and educational leaders first - helping you to thrive; not just survive. 

The challenge has never been greater. In 2023/24, 40,800 teachers left the profession — almost 1 in 10. Five years after qualifying, 33% of new teachers have gone. 84% of school leaders report high stress, and over half of UK teachers say they don’t feel empowered by their management.
