Julie  took early retirement from teaching in 2018 after 33 years and  took up a post with Adoption UK. Julie was  Deputy Head for 12 years in a South Wales  Primary school in  an area identified as having high levels of deprivation. She completed her NPQH and was applying for headships. This was at the same time as adopting a sibling group of 3. She soon realised that the challenges of adoptive family life would not be conducive to being an effective headteacher. She remained in a senior role until her retirement.
