David has worked in Jersey’s education service throughout a 30-year career. Born and schooled in Jersey, David qualified as a teacher of Mathematics at Bristol University in 1990, returning to the island soon after that to begin teaching in the Island’s 11-16 secondary schools where he served in several leadership roles, before being appointed as Headteacher of Haute Vallée School in 2014.

David took up his current post in 2018 as Director of Digital, Technical and Vocational skills at Skills Jersey, a new and innovative role for GoJ, focusing on promoting STEM skills in our local schools. He now works closely with local industry and UK organisations to develop exciting partnerships with Jersey schools in which new technical and skills-focused career pathways are being introduced from an early age to our young people.
