Rae Snape – Experienced Primary Head teacher, NPQEL (National Professional Qualification for Executive Leadership) Author of The Headteacher’s Handbook and Editor of the Curriculum Compendium, published by Bloomsbury.
Author of The Headteacher’s Handbook – the Essential Guide to Leading a Primary School, and editor of The Curriculum Compendium, and an experienced head teacher for over 18 years, Rae believes that despite the many challenges of school leadership, for the sake of our children, colleagues and communities teachers should be “flamingos of hope and not lemmings of despair!”
Rae started her headship journey in January 2007, formerly at The Spinney Primary School, Cambridge and now at Milton Road Primary School, Cambridge since January 2020, Rae describes being a head teacher as “the best job in the world”!
Interested in policy and passionate (some might say obsessed) with education, Rae was a member of the Primary Head teachers' Reference Group at the Department of Education for nine years. Rae is a founding member of the sponsoring committee of the Cambridge Chapter of Citizens UK, she is a Founding Fellow of the Chartered College of Teaching (FFCT), and in October 2021 was thrilled to receive an Honorary Fellowship from The University of Suffolk for her work in education. In 2004 Rae was delighted to receive the inaugural Cambridge Arts Network Award for “Outstanding Commitment to the Arts”.
Keen to support, coach, and inspire new and aspiring Head teachers in the profession, Rae enjoys presenting at conferences, as well as mentoring head teachers, and delivering training for local authorities and national teaching school hubs.
