Nick Barwick

An experienced and successful teacher, senior leader, passionate mathematician, writer and mentor, I have now been working in education for 20 years. One of the most rewarding contributions of increasingly leadership-based roles has been the opportunity to recognise the need for and to lead professional development: a key means of adding value to any organisation. Mindful of best practice from research, and seeking where possible to create a community of learners among staff, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing people's skills improve and confidence flourish. I have a track record of successful teaching across the key stages, change recognition and leadership experience, a passion for mathematics and for getting the best out of the people I work with. Getting out and about at any opportunity, I will walk, cycle or run my journey whenever possible! At the weekend, you'll often find me tinkering in the garden, tending my beehives, out for a bike ride, running my local trails or - at least when it's warm enough - swimming in the Thames.
