ICT Strategy Development

A multi-year technology roadmap built with your leadership team — grounded in your school's strategic plan, your community's needs, and your realistic capacity to deliver it. Something you can govern, not just file.

  • Current state assessment & honest gap analysis
  • Pillar-based strategy co-developed with your team
  • Investment planning & business cases for the board
  • Governance structures that actually get used
🤖
AI Governance & Adoption

Practical, values-grounded AI guidance for schools — from policy and parent communication to staff capability programs and responsible adoption. Built for your community, not copied from a generic template.

  • Responsible use policies & acceptable use frameworks
  • Staff capability and professional learning programs
  • Tool evaluation & procurement support
  • Parent & community communication that builds trust
🔒
Cyber Security & Risk

Cyber security that your board can govern and your community can trust — practical programs that address real risk, without the vendor hype or the false sense of security that comes from a single-day training session.

  • Independent cyber security posture assessment
  • Board-level risk reporting that is genuinely useful
  • Staff training & phishing awareness programs
  • Incident response planning & practice
👥
Interim & Advisory Leadership

Experienced technology leadership when and how you need it — covering a gap, supporting a search, mentoring an emerging leader, or providing an independent perspective your existing team can't easily give you.

  • Interim Director of Technology / CTO
  • Independent advisory to principal & board
  • ICT team assessment, coaching & mentoring
  • Technology staff recruitment support
01
A conversation, not a pitch

We start by understanding your school — your vision, your community, your real challenges. The work comes from that conversation, not from a fixed scope I've decided on in advance.

02
Genuine partnership

I work alongside your team, not above them. Your staff are involved, your leadership is informed, and the outcomes are built to last well after my involvement ends.

03
Practical, not theoretical

Everything I bring has been tested in real schools and real government departments — at every scale. Clear recommendations you can actually act on, in the context you're actually in.

04
Honest about what I don't know

I will tell you when something sits outside my expertise — and help you find the right person for it. No overpromising. No 'I can do that' when I can't do it well.

Practical articles and frameworks for school leaders are being developed here. Topics include how to evaluate AI tools responsibly, what good technology governance looks like for a board, and how to build a technology team your staff actually want to work with. Get in touch if there's a specific topic you'd like me to address.
