Sanum has used coaching tools in her line management and team projects for the last 10 years but recently refined these skills by completing her Level 5 Coaching Apprenticeship (passing with a distinction). She is keen to improve representation in education and believes that bespoke support and empowering staff is a key driver to the success of this. She uses a range of models and tools with individuals to support their growth and development.

Sanum has been a line manager in education for both teaching and non-teaching staff members. She believes in growing leaders and practitioners and uses strengths-based approaches to do this. She works mostly with individuals but has completed some group coaching for small teams within her organisation.

Sanum is an experienced school leader and has worked in both selective and non-selective state-funded schools (secondary). She has been a Head of RS, Head of PSHE/Citizenship and is currently serving as a senior leader. Her current focus is divided between student personal development and the quality of teaching and learning. She regularly contributes to the wider world of education, including writing book reviews, articles of best practice and delivering CPD for organisations including The Festival of Education, SecEd and NASEN.
