Lauren McCaffrey is the Executive Principal for the primary schools within SHARE Multi Academy Trust - a mid-sized trust based in West Yorkshire. She has senior leadership experience in both Greater Manchester and Yorkshire and the Humber, including in an outstanding school. She has been a headteacher in schools with challenging contexts, which were judged to be inadequate or requires improvement - quickly improving standards to turn them around. As an Executive Principal, she now supports leadership teams across four rapidly improving primaries with high levels of deprivation and complex SEND caseload. She feels strongly about working directly with teams in schools, to make sure that every member of staff is as able and as confident as they can be to deal with the reality of the many challenges we face in the classroom.
