Join me in a conversation with Shonogh Pilgrim.Shonogh has over 25 years of experience in the education sector. She started her career as a teaching assistant, going on to teach Psychology and Science in the counties around her home city of Bristol. Shonogh secured her first leadership position after 4 years of teaching, latterly having the privilege of being the Principal of a single academy trust in rural Somerset. Shonogh has worked relentlessly over her career to ensure that every student, regardless of ability or background is given the opportunity to be become the best version of themselves. Her work was highly praised by OFSTED in their publication ‘Key Stage 3: The Wasted Years?’ which highlighted the strength of her commitment to work with partner schools to provide the best possible experience for all students in the area. Shonogh is a passionate supporter of comprehensive education and believes that every child has the right to have a creative and enlightening education that prepares them well to take their place in society.Shonogh is hopeful by nature and believes that a seed of brilliance lies in everyone.Shonogh took the difficult decision to leave her headship in 2021 to join Whole Education as Director of Secondary networks.
