Mark is the Trust Leader/CEO of Coppice Primary Partnership, having joined the trust in April 2021.

I have worked in education since completing a Law degree and realising it really wasn't for me! I started in a village school before working in a large junior school as a Deputy Head and taking on my first Headship in 2015. I joined Coppice in April 2021 and have really enjoyed supporting the schools through their development - I'm always amazed at what schools can achieve! I am still a teacher at heart, and love reading about education, curriculum, pedagogy and leadership and how they can improve the outcomes and experiences for both children and staff.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family - my wife and my two boys. I am desperately trying to get them into my hobbies so that I have an excuse to play more golf and watch Star Wars again!
