David’s key skill is his ability to create humane working environments and build high performing teams of exceptionally motivated staff who display unsurpassed levels of discretionary effort. 

Since TLT’s inception David has utilised his extensive experience in a variety of leadership roles along with his work ethic, powerful vision and compelling communication skills to build the positive relationships that make Together Learning Trust Schools truly remarkable places to work and study. By insisting that everyone lives by our deep rooted values of integrity, creativity, excellence his passion to lead systems that develop staff (putting them first) and students (ensuring they are front and centre of all we do) are fundamental in creating our extraordinary learning communities. Our mission is to Grow - great people and talent; Excel - routinely and Learn -  collaboratively.  In other words to GEL together, to continually improve and to stand out and to be outstanding together.

“Our leaders shape the culture and strategic direction of our schools which preserves their uniqueness.  However consistency is crucial and truly effective school improvement is driven by our senior and middle leaders implementing and supporting the Trust’s vision for excellence. Staff and students expect to be challenged, to be extended, to compete and understand that success comes from a shared commitment to providing the widest range of magical learning experiences for our children who then achieve great things.  We also recognise and constantly celebrate everyone's successes.  The quality of our communication and events that showcase these accolades is truly world class and a critical yardstick of the quality that all staff and students are motivated to emulate.”

David is an LLE, NPQH lead facilitator,  Member of the Calderdale Children's Safeguarding Board, Calderdale and Kirklees Teaching Hub Governing Board member and was proud to showcase the fruits of 7 years of outstanding headship in the BBC ‘Our School’ Series 6.
