Pioneer Team

I have worked in frontline operations within children’s social care for the last 15 years holding board level positions for the last 7 years. I have extensive change management experience and have strategically supported both merger and acquisition in smaller and larger businesses. I was awarded the Outstanding Contribution to Social Care award in London in 2018 and for the UK in 2019. I also achieved my level 7 in Strategic Leadership and Management and achieved a distinction in this. I was awarded the Outstanding Contribution to Social Care Award in Wales 2022, and won this nationally again in 2023. I also was awarded the Woman in Business Award 2022 and am shortlisted for the Lifetime Achievement award in 2023 for my work with Children and Young People.

Our aim is simple - to inspire all our students to achieve their best through “Achievement, Resilience, Caring, Safety & Friendships``. We strive for our students to achieve academic and vocational qualifications alongside success in developing their emotional resilience and managing their behaviour as they learn and grow in a safe and trusted environment.

Excellent teaching is at the heart of our success. Committed and enthusiastic teachers deliver high quality, enjoyable lessons that encourage learning.

Social Workers & family members visiting Pioneer TEC frequently comment upon the happy, purposeful atmosphere and the good behaviour of our students.
