Laurel Park School Leadership
Our school has amazing leaders at all levels, who work both individually and collectively for the benefit of our students and their families.
The senior team balances roles that are both inward and outward facing. Some have roles entirely focussed on Laurel Park, whereas others may have responsibilities that involve external activities.
The team members have complementary skills and experience that provides a powerful driving force for school improvement.

Ms Adele Christofi
I joined Laurel Park School on the 1st of September 2022 and I am thrilled to be here!
I started my career as a Drama teacher and within eight years moved into senior leadership, where I had roles leading teaching and learning, pastoral, behaviour and safeguarding. For a period of time, I was also a designated specialist leader of education in leadership and management, where my role was to support leaders in other schools with school improvement and raising standards. During my career I have also worked alongside Cambridge University on projects related to teacher and student action research projects, in a bid to develop standards in school. Most recently I have become a trustee of the Enterprise Cooperative Trust which is a partnership exploring opportunities to ensure that the arts, industry and work-related learning are pathways that run alongside academic routes into education and employment.
