Katy Chrisleigh Paisley

In the education sector, I have worked in South Africa, United Kingdom and United Arab Emirates in primary and secondary phases in as many curricula for 30 years. As part of leadership teams, I drive visions and project manage to raise standards and meet key performance indicators. In addition to curriculum design, policy writing, strategic planning for SDPs, I offer expertise in diversity, emotional and psychological wellbeing and safeguarding. I am obligated to build trust, communicate effectively with school staff and have a good understanding of the daily operations that occur- including liaising with parents, members of the wider community, external agencies and other stakeholders. I efficiently manage budgets, within a team- setting the school's direction, leading school improvement priorities, monitoring teaching and learning, staff development, recruitment and retention , safeguarding and Special Educational Needs.

I offer:

• excellent communication skills
• integrity, accountability, humility, empathy, resilience and vision in any role I undertake.
• I have excellent interpersonal skills and value wellbeing for all stakeholders
• Taking responsibility, empowering others, continual self-improvement, having a clear vision, being approachable, having a positive attitude and being flexible.

I am currently finishing a 3-year contract as an Assistant Principal in a Charter school in Abu Dhabi and am open to new challenges wherein I can continue to offer my expertise and gain more experience. I aim to have a positive impact within your leadership team.
