Research School Network: Mrs Rachael Wilson

Rachael Wilson, Deputy Director of Norfolk Research School, Year 6
teacher and Curriculum Access Lead at St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary
School, Norwich.

Primary School teacher for the last 17 years, previous Key Stage 2
writing moderator, Maths Specialist Teacher and with a special interest in
revealing and removing the more complex issues that can prevent children from
reaching their full potential. Have worked on a wide range of projects
alongside various partners including the Julian Teaching School Hub, Norfolk
County Council and the Department for Education all aimed at tackling progress
and attainment issues across primary and secondary schools.

​“My big thing has always been finding what works and getting it
working for all children. Education does not start with a level playing field
and that moral imperative to give every child the life chances they deserve is
what drives me forward every single day.”
