Celia is Executive Head Teacher at Firbeck Academy.

Prior to her appointment as Executive Head Teacher, Celia was Head Teacher at Birklands and successfully led the school to secure an Ofsted ‘Good’ rating in 2017. 

Celia’s expertise includes teaching and learning, along with curriculum design — her passion for this area has led to all five primaries to be part of the Visible Learning programme, which is underpinned by the work of John Hattie. 

Celia firmly believes that a school should be at the heart of a community and support all aspects of a pupil’s life to enable them to transform into the best version of themselves. 

Knowing your children leads to positive relationships and a successful school is something Celia frequently shares with the professionals she leads and works with.
