Armando Di-Finizio

Armando was a teacher for 30 years in London, Bristol and Cardiff and has led three schools, two of which were moved from Special Measures status to being Ofsted ‘Good’ with ‘Outstanding’ features. His third school was taken out of Special Measures and became over-subscribed. All three schools moved from being amongst the lowest performing and highest excluding schools in the country to achieving above expectations for similar schools and zero fixed-term exclusions. He left headship in August 2021 to focus on writing and consultancy. He has since published a book, ‘A Head Full Of Ethos’, which provides leadership support in schools across England and Wales.
