Abi Preston
Director of Education & SEND
I have been a teacher in primary schools for a number of years and, throughout much of my teaching career, was a SENDCo. Prior to joining the London Borough of Hillingdon, I was a headteacher of a primary school which needed considerable improvement when I joined. Having worked closely with the council to improve the school, I'm aware of the importance of effective support from the council to improve provision. Most of my 18 year career in education has taken place in Buckinghamshire.
I have a great passion for SEND and have previously led an SRP for children with ASD within a mainstream school. I'm a qualified SENDCo and have also completed a post graduate diploma in Education.
I feel privileged to be able to lead on Education and SEND in my role and look forward to working with colleagues to provide first-class support to the young people of Hillingdon.
