Warm, welcoming and Friendly with Barry Smith

<p>From Barry&#39;s LinkedIn</p> <p><br></p> <p>Founding Deputy of Michaela School, Wembley. The kids’ amazing French, &amp; my unique approach to MFL teaching, created huge buzz at Michaela. Became head of Great Yarmouth Charter. 10th head in 10 years. Inadequate for a decade. 60+ % fsm coastal comp. In 5 months, Ofsted declared Charter, ‘a miraculous turnaround’.

Led turn around of inadequate Hackney New School working with 5th Head in 5 years. <br>25 years teaching. A decade as a freelance teacher trainer fighting fashionable fads 2004 to 2014. Then founded Michaela, transformed Charter &amp; turned around Hackney. <br>Sept 21 to date, freelance again. MFL CPD. It’s what I became famous for. With commendations from the likes of Christine Counsell &amp; Tom Bennett. But mostly working with headteachers.

Helping head realise their vision. <br>Attention to detail, coaching, systems.
