So you have agreed to mentor a student teacher or to coach a colleague as part of the Early Career Framework. Where do you start?
I started my career as a PGCE student in a state secondary school in Wickford, Essex. As a naïve but gung-ho beginning English teacher, I was blessed with a brilliant mentor, an inspirational university tutor and empathetic senior leaders.
The early support that I received set me off with a spring in my step.

I have been a head of department, a member of a senior leadership team and I have completed a Doctorate in Education.
