Oli is a leader with over 15 years of Senior Leadership Experience and was Head Teacher of Woodhouse Primary Academy from 2018–2025, leading the school through two successful Ofsted inspections and guiding it to achieve Inclusion Quality Mark Flagship school status. Ofsted noted that "...this school has gone from strength to strength. Staff say that new leadership has re-energised the school and raised aspirations. Parents agree. There is a ‘can-do’ attitude across the whole school. Staff report that leaders genuinely care about their well-being and workload."
Under his leadership, outcomes were the highest in the school's history, and annually at or above national averages - despite high levels of disadvantage and SEND. The school was recognised for its inclusive, opportunity-rich provision, both locally and by the DFE.
He has played a significant role in shaping inclusive education across Birmingham, serving as a founding representative on the city’s Inclusive City Steering Group, the SENAR EHCP Task and Finish Board, and a range of reference and project groups. He has also represented colleagues as Vice President of Birmingham NAHT and Vice Chair of the Quinborne Consortium, supporting collaboration between schools and helping leaders.
Earlier in his career, Oli was a Specialist Leader of Education for Mathematics, providing school-to-school support, delivering CPD, and coaching leaders across the city. A designated DSL for over a decade, he has extensive safeguarding expertise and has led training, developed robust systems, and worked closely with multi-agency partners to keep children safe.
Oli brings deep experience in leadership, safeguarding, and inclusive practice, alongside a proven track record of mentoring, coaching, and supporting new and experienced school leaders.
