He was part of three different outstanding academy leadership teams and has led on all areas of school leadership. Wesley has a wealth of experience and credibility having led his own school to an outstanding Ofsted judgement along with supporting various schools to secure improvements. One of his greatest achievements was securing a progress 8 score of +1 for students who were eligible for free school meals.

He has led various Religious Education networks, examined to A level standard, spoken at various conferences and been a guest lecturer on PGCE courses.
