Everyone has been to school and so has a view point on education. I combine magical entertainment with a talk about my own experiences as a headteacher leading my school for over 18 years and my thoughts on education today and what really matters. My aim is to confound, amuse and set you thinking in equal measure! 'We have had such a really, really good response from our members after your talk and your magic tricks - very clever. And I enjoyed being a princess for a few minutes too. The feedback was very enthusiastic indeed and I got thank yous for inviting you to come along to talk to us too.

Views: 982 | Enquiries: 10With over 18 years as the headteacher of a highly successful secondary school in Bournemouth—including three extraordinary years steering the school through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic—I bring a wealth of experience, insight, and humour to every audience I meet. Now retired from education but far from slowing down, I’ve embraced a new chapter as a celebrant, leading both weddings and funerals with warmth, empathy, and a touch of storytelling magic.
Speaking of magic—quite literally—I am also a proud member of The Magic Circle and regularly perform at weddings, dinners, and special events. My talks draw on a lifetime of leadership, resilience, and reinvention, blending personal anecdotes, educational wisdom, and yes, the occasional sleight of hand.
Whether you're looking to be informed, entertained, or inspired (ideally all three), I’d be delighted to share my journey with your group. There might even be a trick or two in my talk!
