Join us on Weaving a Space and a Place for Children as we sit down with Maxine Low, a visionary educator with 27 years of experience at the forefront of education. Maxine's journey from Nursery Nurse to Headteacher has been guided by two fundamental questions: What is the best way to learn, and consequently, what is the best way to teach?
Throughout her career, Maxine has been a beacon of inspiration within her learning community, leading Sure Start centres, Children Centres, and serving as a trustee with Challenge Partners. From nurturing young minds in nursery schools to shaping the educational landscape as head teacher of the largest primary school in the country, with 1350 pupils, Maxine's passion for learning and teaching has remained unwavering.
Recently completing her MBA, Maxine delves deeper into understanding the complexities of the education system, striving to create environments where children, teachers, and parents can thrive amidst evolving contexts. Tune in as we explore Maxine's insights, experiences, and the transformative power of education.
