SENIOR TRAINER

Tony has been a teacher and school leader for over 33 years. He began teaching in Poplar East London and immediately realised he was drawn to and really enjoyed working with children who are challenging. He is fascinated by human behaviour and is constantly learning more about it.
​
After leaving school at 16 and trying lots of jobs he was terrible at, Tony trained as a teacher in Liverpool. He then started as a classroom teacher, initially in Geography and later Psychology. He has worked as an Advisory Teacher for Tower Hamlets Behaviour Support Team, been a SENCo in two mainstream secondary schools a Pastoral Deputy Head, DSL and Inclusion Lead.
​
Tony’s last role was as Headteacher of a PRU in the South-West of England. This was an extremely exciting opportunity to design a new school steeped in relational and Trauma Informed practice, from the furniture to the policies and practices. OFSTED described it as a “safe haven for its pupils”.
​
Tony now works as a Senior Trainer with TISUK. He delivers on the Diploma course, Senior Mental Health Lead Training as well as Whole School Training, Senior Lead training and consultancy and enjoys it immensely.
