Daniel Cuttell

I am a Parent Governor at KSPA with a linked responsibility for Pupil Premium. I have two children currently attending the school and am passionate about helping to ensure they and all pupils at KSPA experience an ambitious, rewarding curriculum.  

I have worked in the education sector for 18 years, for an organisation that provides educational resources, qualifications and training to schools in the UK. This has involved working closely with a wide range of schools across the Primary and Secondary age ranges, to understand the challenges they face and how such schools can best be supported. In that time I have also worked closely with a number of key organisations in education, including Ofsted, the Department for Education and Ofqual. More recently, I now lead the team responsible for developing and delivering GCSE and A Level English qualifications and examinations in schools in England.

I have lived in King's Sutton for 13 years, and currently have two children attending the school; with a further two joining in 2023. I am part of the PTFA; with a passion to raise funds, and build relationships within the local community. 

As a Governor, I hope to contribute my skills and experience in safeguarding. I believe it is paramount that all children feel valued, build self-confidence, and can learn in a safe and happy environment which enables them to reach their full potential.

I joined King's Sutton Primary in 2023 after previously working at a range of different sized schools. I have worked across all year groups over the past few years which has given me a wealth of experience in understanding the needs of the pupils. 

My previous career as a photographer has allowed me to bring a knowledge and understanding of technology, which I use in my leadership of computing and science at King's Sutton Primary. My other great passion is history and I enjoy recounting past events and discussing the lessons we can learn from looking in our own British history, alongside world history. 

I value the opportunity to be part of children's lives and help shape their futures. My role as staff governor enables me to do the same for our small, hard-working but friendly school. As a teacher, I feel rewarded by my governor role as the children here deserve nothing but the best I can give.

With 16 years of teaching experience in various independent schools across Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, I am deeply committed to fostering an educational environment where teaching is challenging, engaging, and supportive for all students. My goal is to create a classroom that is a positive, inclusive space with high yet realistic expectations tailored to each child’s unique learning needs. I have a Master of Science in Teaching and Learning, with my research focusing on the benefits of a learning through enquiry approach to geography.  I also have an NPQ in Senior Leadership, in which I focused on how to implement effective CPD and SEND provision for students within the classroom.

For the past five years, I have served as Head of Geography, and starting September 2024, I will assume the role of Assistant Head of Teaching, Learning, and Enrichment. As Head of Geography has been marked by significant achievements, including unifying the department with a shared teaching approach that meets individual student needs, raising examination results, and revitalizing fieldwork and outdoor learning experiences across all school phases.

A passionate advocate for technology in education, I have developed and implemented a comprehensive whole-school CPD strategy. This strategy emphasises coaching to identify development areas and encourages staff collaboration in CPD delivery. A notable initiative under this strategy has been the introduction of a rolling carousel of staff training sessions focused on the effective use of technology in the classroom.

I have played a pivotal role in working across the Stowe group, where I developed the 'Stowe Stretch Programme' for pupils with higher learning potential. This program offers a diverse range of lecture and seminar-style workshops designed to promote critical thinking and intellectual exploration. Additionally, I designed and implemented the Scholars Future Ready Programme for Year 8 students. This initiative includes the introduction of the iPQ and offers bespoke topics across various subjects. The program also features a tailored scholarship exploration week, providing scholars with opportunities to explore work experience in fields such as finance, art, and social enterprise.

As a Governor for King's Sutton Primary Academy, I am eager to bring my extensive experience, innovative mindset, and unwavering commitment to educational excellence to the School. I am committed to supporting every student in realising their full potential and contributing to the continued success and growth of King's Sutton Primary Academy.
