Hannah Higgins
@hannahhiggins
I build and lead evidence-based learning programmes from curriculum design through measurable improvement.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently leading Religious Studies and GCSE Sociology at The Heath High School, owning learning strategy, curriculum design, quality assurance, performance analysis and continuous improvement. I rapidly built GCSE Sociology provision from the specification, creating its curriculum, resources, assessments and delivery strategy while maintaining learner progress.
Previously, I launched A-Level Law and WJEC Criminology programmes at Ormiston Bolingbroke Academy and supported other Trust schools to establish Criminology provision. My experience also includes training Santander employees on Apple Pay and fraud-investigation processes, translating complex technical information into accessible adult learning; I bring an MA in Education with Distinction, QTS and a law degree.
