Colette grew up in London and was educated locally, in Rickmansworth. After leaving school she worked at Harrow School in the sports department, where her interest in teaching began.
Looking to widen her experiences before committing to teaching, she then worked in London and America for various businesses to broaden her skill set before graduating with an Honours degree in Primary Education, specialising in computing and geography, from St Mary’s University College, Twickenham.
Colette started her teaching career working in London schools, beginning in Early Years and progressing to Assistant and Deputy Head roles. Her interests lie in progression in literacy and phonics across all ages to create lifelong readers, born from her passion for high quality texts, stories, and literature.
Colette has served on senior leadership teams for over ten years and has completed her National Professional Qualification for Senior Leadership (NPQSL) at the Institute of Education at University College London. Colette is Head of Pre-Prep and is the School’s Designated Safeguarding Lead.
