I’m Drew Thomson-Jones, currently an Acting Head of St Albans High School for Girls in Hertfordshire. In my normal life (which I return to from Easter), I am the Deputy Head Academic, leading on all the academic strategy of a truly wonderful school. I was previously Head of Science for six years.
I am passionate about providing students with an environment in which they can love learning, they can be challenged and they are confident in taking intellectual risks. I am a believer in empowering middle leaders through carefully crafted professional development and giving them space to shape their vision for their area of the school.
I believe in evidence-informed leadership, and that this requires considerable thought to discern what works best for our students in our context. Most interventions and initiatives are likely to have a positive effect, so for me it is about choosing those that are going to have most impact and those that are most important to the students and the school at the current stage in its journey.
