Hannah Wilson

If you are looking to work with someone who has an infectious passion for making positive change happen, you will love working with Hannah. She has a wealth of experience at a senior leadership level and is hugely committed to the diversity agenda. I have benefitted personally from Hannah’s wisdom and guidance on these issues on a number of occasions.

Hannah is one of, if not the, most selfless, values-driven leaders I’ve ever met. If you’re doing a good thing that will help education, she’ll back you. Hugely knowledgeable and experienced and very well connected. A great person to have on your team.

Hannah is a unique and inspirational leader. Her moral compass and utter commitment to doing everything possible to effectively prepare young people for their future stands out… but this is just a part of Hannah’s appeal. She clearly inspires all around her with an amazing student culture and a highly engaged, motivated and committed staff team. But her reach extends beyond this, not just all stakeholders in her immediate community (students, parents, staff, local community) but also to the wider education community with her pioneering leadership work with #WomenEd and leading/challenging school thinking and practice at a national level, such as around wellbeing, citizenship and purpose of education more generally. She is an inspiration to all that are lucky enough to meet and work with her.

An inspirational female leader and speaker. I recommend Hannah very highly. She speaks very engagingly and passionately, challenging her audience to question their own self- imposed limits – and she makes it great fun too!

Hannah is incredible. She is a dexterous and measured facilitator, and she holds space to support growth and reflection with real expertise and care. Her work supporting and leading women is done through the culmination of many different roles and experience and an unwavering demonstration of her values-based leadership. She is a rare combination of both ‘a safe pair of hands’ and a dynamic, change making and exciting visionary. Always a pleasure to meet minds and work alongside her.

Hannah’s presentation to colleagues from our family of schools was warm, wise and insightful. She explored the concept of values-led leadership and throughout demonstrated authenticity, intelligence and compassion. Since that time, I have worked with Hannah to host her Diverse Educators III unconference. Without a doubt, Hannah’s generosity of spirit and energy is limitless. She lives her words in championing teachers and educational leaders from diverse backgrounds. It is clear from the wealth of relationships that Hannah forges that she exemplifies her values to drive equality, inclusion and diversity.
