Martin has been a primary teacher for over 30 years and a Headteacher for 18 years at 3 different schools. He has been leading at Raglan since 2012, about a year after the two schools federated. Taking the schools through a challenging period, both schools were previously assessed as Requires Improvement and are now Outstanding (Infants, 2024) and Good (Juniors, 2019).
After completing his B.Ed. in Music and Education at Homerton College, Cambridge University, he started his teaching career in 1994 in Peterborough. After roles at Thorpe Primary and Eyrescroft Primary, Martin moved to Brampton Junior School in Cambridgeshire, where he would develop his leadership roles through to Acting Headteacher.

Deputy Headteacher
BEd. Hons, MA Education
Claire has been a primary teacher for 14 years and has been working at Raglan since 2014, when the school was still going through a period of great change. When she joined her key focus was strengthening teaching and learning across both schools, whilst helping to build the leadership capacity amongst middle and senior leaders .
After completing a B.Ed with a specialism in English and SEN, Claire worked at Lark Rise Primary School, where she enjoyed many middle leadership opportunities, which included Key Stage Leader and SENco. Following on from this she moved to St Nicholas C of E School where she progressed from AHT to DHT. This then led to a key role in Barnet LA as a Literacy consultant; leading national initiatives and supporting schools that ofsted had graded as inadequate or RI. She then went back into a school which she had been supporting and enjoyed working at Fairway Primary School as a DHT. This school provided opportunities to work closely with the school's children's centre, helping to strengthen her love for the Early Years.
At Raglan I have loved the opportunity to work with a huge range of staff and I am incredibly proud of the quality of teaching and learning that all staff provide. All staff really care about the children in their care and I feel very lucky to be part of a team who always put the children at the heart of the decisions that they make. The children are an absolute pleasure to teach and genuinely care about their school.
