Jayne Woolcock
Jayne Woolcock retired from her headteacher post at Penllergaer Primary School in Swansea in November 2022. Jayne has experience as a Challenge Adviser, NPQH Assessor and was the local authority Primary Development Officer for Numeracy in 2018-2020. Jayne has also participated in many international school projects, escorting pupils to countries such as Bangladesh, Finland, Turkey, and Spain. She is currently a School Improvement Adviser for the City and County of Swansea.
Jayne enjoys having the opportunity to engage in professional dialogue, consult, research, and further her professional learning with like-minded individuals. She was part of Cohort 4 who undertook a commission on ‘the role of educational leadership in achieving the vision of Community-focused schools in Wales’.
“I am so grateful to have the opportunity to work with colleagues from different sectors pan-Wales. The variance of experience has provided me with access to a rich network that has challenged my thinking and inspired my vision for educational leadership. It is also a privilege to represent the ‘voice of leadership’ within the Leadership Academy and across the education system.”
Jayne has been married for 36 years to her childhood sweetheart and has one son. She enjoys spending time with her family, travelling, reading, eating out and watching Wales play rugby (but mainly for the socialising).
