Hampton Lakes Local Governing Body Profiles
Zoe has a proven track record of senior leadership within Hampton, and was seconded from Hampton Vale Primary School to Hampton College as an Assistant Head to set up the Foundation Stage in 2012 when we became an all- through school. Zoe’s previous leadership experience as a founding member of Hampton Vale Primary School provided her with the enthusiasm and flexibility to work in unique situations, and prepared her to always expect the unexpected! This coupled with eight years’ experience as a teacher moderator with Peterborough Local Authority for the Foundation Stage Profile ensured a comprehensive understanding of observation based assessment with Reception children.
Zoe worked very closely with other senior leaders of the school to ensure that the children were able to access a creative play based curriculum in temporary accommodation whilst the Primary Phase was built. She was instrumental in accommodating the decant to the permanent site, working tirelessly with adults and children to ensure the move was seem less.
Rising to the challenge of setting up the school, Zoe stayed at the College and secured a promotion, as Deputy Head of School to support and lead the school as it has grown. Her support in Key Stage One, coupled with her whole school experiences of leading Literacy has resulted in the raising of standards in Phonics. She is committed to her professional development and was successful in completing the National Award for SEN Coordination resulting in Hampton College Primary Phase becoming an Accredited SENCO School in October 2016. She has promoted the principles of the Code of Practice, and is solution focussed when considering the planning of learning opportunities for all children.
