books

My books help schools maximise their use of effective EdTech, provide guidance for school governors, and outline the key considerations for MATs as they grow. My latest book discussing education’s awkward questions was released in April 2025.

It’s never easy to try and summarise your focus in a few lines, but my passion is all things Education & Technology.

I am CEO of the EdTech company, NetSupport, with more than 30 years’ experience in educational technology and digital safeguarding. With a passion for education and, in particular, educational technology, governance and raising organisational performance, I’ve undertaken many roles outside of my NetSupport duties, including being Chair of a Multi-Academy Trust and an AP Academy, sitting on the Regional Schools Director’s Advisory Board for the East of England, and being Chair of the county SEND Board. With 20+ years of governance experience, I am also a FED Council member, Chair of the BESA EdTech Group and my regional Business Board.

I’m also the author of The Awkward Questions in Education (Routledge Education), alongside  My Secret #EdTech Diary, My School Governance Handbook and My School & Multi Academy Trust Growth Guide (all published with Hodder Education) and a co-author of A Guide to Creating a Digital Strategy in Education. I continue to support schools with consulting and mentoring – as well as writing for the wider education community, supporting vendors and regularly speaking at education conferences and events.
