Louise Salewski

I was a successful headteacher at Streatham Wells School since 2014 -the last OFSTED 2019 a section 5 inspection was recommended as outcomes in all areas were very strong and the school was expected to be graded outstanding. https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50053769

Challenge Partners inspection graded the school as 'leading' in all areas and we were identified as centre of excellence for the teaching of history and geography.

Although l loved being a headteacher i really put my heart and soul into the job and was ready to retire early. I do run a volunteer group of readers for the village school training and managing them to support children.

I always taught throughout my headship and especially loved intervention groups and working to improve the outcomes of children with special needs.

• This was an interesting post as a week after l was appointed found massive fraud that had been taking place over 20 years. It was a difficult year trying to unpick the complexity of financial arrangements and being threatened by those involved. After a year l returned to Lambeth where l stayed until retirement.
