Staff Appraisals: Promoting Engagement to Elevate Performance and Standards | Independent Schools

Devin has spent over 30 years in education, both the state and independent sector. A former Head of a large independent school with over 13 years of senior leadership experience, he is now an education consultant. Devin also inspects with the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI), and is a fellow of both the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Chartered College of Teaching. 

Devin was a member of an executive committee which successfully merged two large and successful independent schools into one, involving a great deal of understanding of change management; financial planning; HR restructuring; curriculum design and marketing to name just some key aspects of such a project. With his roots in pastoral care and safeguarding, he believes that every child can achieve brilliance if they are happy and develop a good work ethic. 

Devin has a number of articles published in both the local and national press and in his spare time is a State School Governor and Trustee of his local Hospice.
