  • 002 What's life like being a 'young' headteacher? | Laura Pearce
    Jul 14 2021

    Send us a text

    In this second conversation as part of the Women Leaders series, I sit down with the headteacher at my current school, Laura Pearce.

    Laura has been a headteacher for five years but received the title of headteacher at age of 28. Being young and dynamic, enabled Laura to make some tough decisions which resulted in success, proving that age simply is nothing but a number.

    Since 2016, Laura has been a leader in her current school, part of the Enfield Learning Trust. The original Infant school and Junior school were merged to form a large five-form entry primary school in the heart of a highly diverse area of London. The school is one of the largest in the country. With more than ten years of education experience, she also worked in the role as Executive Headteacher, leading her school alongside a new one form entry primary in its initial stages of becoming a school. She has provided training within the Trust to other leaders as well as on behalf of Enfield Local Authority, specifically focusing on Leading Wellbeing. The school she is currently leading has recently been awarded the Sandwell Chartermark for wellbeing which adds to other awards during her years in leadership.
