    Judith Green

Judith’s passion for teaching has led her through a highly successful career in primary teaching, leadership, and management. Her career pathway took her from leafy village locations to some of the most needy and demanding wards in the UK. Here, she worked alongside HMI, supporting schools on their journeys of self-improvement and raising standards in all aspects of teaching and learning before turning her attention to the international sector.

Subsequently, Judith took on the challenge of creating, as the founding headteacher, an entirely new 800-place British international school using the UK National and Cambridge International Curricula. Under her leadership, the school became an outstanding example of excellence, judged to be one of the best quality schools in the Middle East sector.

Since returning to the UK, Judith has contributed to the volunteer sector, working as the chair of governors within a growing academy. She has also expanded her work as an education consultant, working with UK and international teachers and leaders, delivering online and face-to-face training, tutoring, mentoring, and coaching.
