Vicky Shearn
“I have worked with Vicky on numerous occasions in her capacity as consultant for Tower Hamlets. I have found her to be a wealth of knowledge on Post 16 provision and with years of experience in education she is well positioned to advise.
Vicky has worked in the classroom and has a member of SLT and this experience, coupled with her knowledge of many schools, put her in an ideal position to help and support me when I was new to post. In particular I found her understanding of Post 16 data and how to improve results at Post 16 extremely valuable. I look forward to working with her again.”

“I’m more than happy to endorse – and more – all the wonderful support you have given the school – and me personally – over the last 3 years. This has included highly targeted support – and challenge where needed – for the quality of outcomes and the effective use of data in our Sixth Form. You have acted as an effective advocate for our Sixth Form in the borough and beyond. You have helped add value through initiating projects and making connections – such as the support you brokered from the libraries service. You have helped us ask the right questions to ensure the IB became well embedded in its first year. Beyond this you have run effective meetings at borough level, providing high quality input to senior leaders across the borough. I would recommend your services unreservedly.“

Vicky will facilitate your teams to identify, own and tackle their improvement priorities. She is able to challenge while making it feel like support – and even like fun.”

“You know as I travel the country meeting with LA colleagues there are always some ‘stand-out’ people who make a real difference to the young people in their area – you were one of these special people”
