Our Federation Leadership Team
Emma Hickling
Executive Headteacher – ASPIRE Federation
I am the Executive Headteacher of the ASPIRE Federation.
I have been a Headteacher now for 15 years and have been associated with Kingswood for 18years!
I aim to provide the highest quality of education for the pupils of the Federation and am passionate about inclusivity.
Lynsey Sanchez Daviu
Head of School
Kingswood Primary School
I have been the Head of School at Kingswood Primary School since Easter 2019.
I have always been passionate about teaching especially with a focus of mental health and wellbeing; which I am now so pleased is part of the curriculum. My aim is to ensure that every child is included.
My spare moments are either spent with family and friends, or in the kitchen baking up a storm; I’m certainly no Mary Berry, but it brings a smile to my face.
Fiona Steer
Head of School
Leeds and Broomfield CE Primary School
Since I was little I always wanted to be a teacher. My passion in education sits with the early years and I take that practice with me into all aspects of my new role of Head of school. I get to know the pupils for who they are, ensuring and developing a positive image of themselves. Outside of school I am an active person and bring this active style into the classroom with me. Education is ever changing and I enjoy overcoming the new challenges that I am faced with every day.
