Kerry has been a qualified teacher of Food and Nutrition and Textiles for 11 years. She started her teaching career at an outstanding school in West Sussex, where she taught for six years. During this time, she was promoted twice; becoming Subject Leader for Food and Nutrition and then Head of Design and Technology, overseeing all subjects within the subject suite.

Looking for a new challenge and ready to return home to the Midlands, she joined RFSS in September 2018 as Director of Learning for ADT, when the department was in its infancy. Having overseen the successful growth of the department over the last 5 years, Kerry was promoted to Curriculum Lead for Vocational in September 2022, to oversee the entirety of the Vocational suite. Kerry played an active role in RFSS’ most recent Ofsted inspection, with both Art and Food & Nutrition undertaking a ‘Deep Dive’ from inspectors.

Kerry completed her NPQLT in January 2023, which focused on curriculum design, intent, and implementation, and has worked with other Middle Leaders in order to ensure that curriculums are planned and sequenced effectively. In addition to this, Kerry has transitioned into overseeing examinations, due to her passion for qualification processes, and her knowledge and understanding of vocational assessment. As a consequence of her excellent communication and organisation, Kerry was promoted to Assistant Headteacher with oversight of examinations, communications and systems in September 2023.

Outside of work, Kerry loves cooking and going out for meals, and enjoys going on holiday and exploring new places!
