        Katie joined NCW in September 2022 as Head of Biology, and progressed to Head of Science within her first year. Katie joined NCW from another Worcester based school where she was STEM and pupil premium lead. This experience allowed her to gain extensive knowledge based around student engagement and inclusivity within the Sciences.

Katie quickly passed her and has implemented the Curriculum Framework for Children and Young People into her lessons, whilst bringing in experience she has gained throughout her career in education. She has a deep interest in inclusive teaching for children with Special Educational Needs, and over the years has specialised in Vision Impairment. 

Katie lives in Worcester, and enjoys spending her time away from work with her little son and her partner. She enjoys visiting animal conservation projects, and travelling with her family.
