Clare O’Sullivan came late to reading.  Struggling with English in school, she would have much preferred conquering quadratics than perusing the pages of a book.  Thanks to an English teacher in year 9, the world changed, and Clare found her passion in reading and thinking about (and then later teaching) literature.  When Clare became a deputy headteacher, she used the platform of subject passion to drive whole school development, cultivate curiosity in pupils and engage teachers in conversations about learning beyond the curriculum.
