Sarah has worked in education for over a decade and has been part of STEP Academy Trust since 2019.

Before joining the Teaching School Hub, Sarah was the SENCo and a member of the senior leadership team at Peacehaven Heights Academy.

Passionate about teacher development and creating pathways into the profession, Sarah is committed to supporting educators at every stage of their career.
