Eilish has been with IQM since 2009.

Eilish’s teaching career spanned secondary schools in Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Hemel Hempstead before moving on to a very large college of Further Education in Wiltshire where she led a large team of professionals in the Business, Law, Economics and Accounting Faculty. She has taught at GCSE level but more extensively at A Level in both academic and vocational subjects. Eilish has delivered a variety of training courses to teachers across the UK and in the Middle East on a wide range of topics but specialising in inclusive education.

Dr Wendy Daley has a back-ground in education that spans 40 years (so far). In that time, she has been a head teacher of a successful junior school; a researcher in education at doctoral level and a consultant delivering a breadth of training throughout the country to a variety of audiences. Recipients of training from Dr Daley include teachers; support staff; senior managers and post-graduates.

As an Early Years, Professional Status trainer and assessor, Dr Daley trained and assessed personnel within this context.

Whilst a head teacher, Dr Daley’s school was a focus for innovative Inclusive Practice which has featured in articles, conferences and training DVDs. Currently, Dr Daley is a Senior Assessor for IQM involving herself in training; review of processes; quality assurance and of course, assessing schools.

In her own words, she “continues to be an enthused, creative and energetic practitioner at heart”.

In a career spanning forty years I have enjoyed working in a variety of settings. As part of my initial training I worked in a French secondary school as a foreign language teaching assistant and then spent the rest of my career working in the midlands, firstly in Middle Schools and then as a deputy in a Primary setting.

I have had three headships, in a small village First School(4-9 year olds) followed by a medium sized First and Middle School headship and my final role was in a very large city primary school (three form entry with a school led nursery.

In my last headship I had the pleasure of establishing a young and highly competent inclusion team. They led our setting to Inclusion Quality Mark and latterly, Centre of Excellence.

I am married, with two grown up sons, the eldest of which has Down’s Syndrome. He’s thirty and works in an inclusive Café and in a City library where he supports the archaeological team one day each week and helps out in the Children’s library section on another day.

Interests include the arts, gardening and keeping my French up to scratch. I keep active, with swimming, gym and “rusty rackets” tennis sessions in our local club each week.

It is a real privilege to work as an assessor for IQM, where I see wonderful examples of inclusive practice and make some recommendations for schools to consider further improvement.
