Helen Ashworth
Head of School — Secondary, 11–18
Twenty years in state secondary education, six as a head. I took an 1,100-pupil comprehensive from “requires improvement” to “good with outstanding leadership” without changing the intake, and I still teach a Year 11 set every week.
Experience
1,100 pupils · 96 staff · £7.2m budget
- Ofsted “good” in 2023 with outstanding leadership and management, up from “requires improvement”.
- Rebuilt the curriculum on a five-year model and cut teacher contact time to fund faculty planning.
- Balanced the budget from a £340k in-year deficit while protecting teaching posts.
1,400 pupils · Timetable & assessment
- Owned timetable, assessment and options for 1,400 pupils; introduced the trust's first shared mock schedule.
- Led the maths faculty turnaround — Progress 8 in maths from −0.4 to +0.2 in three years.
- Ran a faculty of eleven; triple science uptake doubled across the period.

What makes this one work
Headship is judged on what moved while you held the post. Give the figure and its starting point: '+0.51 Progress 8, from −0.19' is a record, where 'raised standards' is a claim anyone could make.
