How did you personally become involved in the council?
As an early years teacher and school leader with more than 28 years’ experience, I am only too aware of how, for too long, it has felt as though our sector has been marginalised and overlooked, especially by government and policy-makers. This is why the opportunity to chair a new Early Years Sector Council within the National Association of Head Teachers was one that I jumped at.
How will the council represent all sectors within early years?
The council has been established to represent the views of NAHT members who lead in early years settings. It will help to shape and influence the broader NAHT policy through our National Executive Committee [which it is responsible to]. Three of the 14 members of the council are themselves members of the National Executive Committee. We also have five co-optees who are also NAHT members from early years providers.
