the UK. I am also the Committee Secretary for Earith Pre-School and enjoy this

Trust Governor, Quality of Education

I have an extensive background in Secondary Education as a teacher of science for 28 years and a Vice Principal at a large inner city Academy for 18 of those years. My main role as Vice Principal was leading the Curriculum development and school standards; however I was also very involved in all aspects of school improvement and pastoral care.

I live in the village and have one Grandson attending Earith Primary School.

Tom Abbs

Tom was seconded to Earith in October 2018 as Head of School and never left! He is

now Head Teacher. Tom has worked in other leadership roles, including Deputy Head

in schools in Norfolk, including where he setup and led a Specialist Resource Base for

children with Learning Difficulties to outstanding status. He is passionate about driving

school improvement in order to provide better outcomes, and therefore, life chances for

the people that matter the most - the children.
