Tom Pinnington

Tom has been teaching for 21 years, beginning his career in Leeds before being called back to Norwich. Within that time, he has worked in four different schools in a diverse range of roles, from pastoral; to teaching and learning focused; and more recently the privileged position of headship.

Tom is now in his sixth year of headship, which he believes was to some extent catalysed by undertaking the NPQH. 

Tom has previously co-facilitated the NPQSL for the Julian TSH, and is a firm believer that the NPQs provide the best summary of evidence-informed practice and CPD to prepare teachers for the next step in their career.
