Leadership and management

The Chief Education Officer inspires the team she leads, providing strategic, empathetic yet firm leadership. She sets high expectations for all and models exemplary professional behaviours. The senior team in the education service skilfully supports the Chief Education Officer and together they embody the ‘Team Caerphilly’ approach. They forge strong relationships with schools, settings and PRUs, where leaders feel well-supported, yet challenged to achieve their shared ambitions for success for learners. A notable cultural strength of the service is the way in which the Chief Education Officer leads by example in prioritising the wellbeing of staff in schools and within the service, whilst always ensuring that the needs of children and young people are at the heart of every decision. The Corporate Director for Education and Corporate Services trusts the service to deliver against their priorities and sets out to remove any barriers to success. As a result, staff throughout the service feel valued and responsible, and are proud to promote the important message that no one should be constrained by circumstances.
