Joolz Scarlett

CEO

I have over 25 years in teaching and school leadership, 5 in mainstream Primary, 20 in Alternative Provision and SEND school leadership.  

I joined Manor Green School in 2013 as the Assistant Headteacher for the secondary department and was very fortunate to be appointed Headteacher in September 2016. I have loved working at Manor Green and enjoyed being surrounded by a variety of amazing young people and staff, which fulfils my passion for inclusion and working with children.

I grew up locally in Berkshire, I have two adult children and I enjoy horse-riding, cold-water swimming and live music in my free time.

I have over 40 years in teaching and leadership, all in MLD/SLD/PMLD schools. I was a head teacher for 8 years at Addington School after spending 22 years as a teacher and leader at Brookfields School and prior to that at special schools in London.

 My area of expertise is in SEND pedagogy and improving the quality of education and ultimately life outcomes for our pupils. I am a School Improvement Advisor for 6 special schools and am in a national SEND school improvement network. I also sit on the executive board of the South and West Association of Special Schools (SWALSS) and am a Trustee on a local large Trust.

My home life is kept busy with 5 grandchildren, a large garden and a love of cooking.
