Career Overview
Under Farmer’s leadership, Moulsham High School has moved from being described as a “coasting” school in 2010 to one which registered the third highest progress score in all of Essex in 2017, denoting a concerted improvement in academic standards. This was credited to a fresh approach to leading on teaching and learning, with a new and rigorous CPD programme introduced along with the establishment of a teaching and learning community.
In July 2020, Farmer appeared on a Leaders Council of Great Britain & Northern Ireland podcast, discussing leadership and the impact it has had on his career to date.
