Erika Eisele is headteacher of Dalmain Primary School, a mixed, two-form entry community primary school within the Forest Hill community, located in the London Borough of Lewisham, England. The school’s vision is “where creativity meets educational excellence” and through inspirational, inclusive and academically challenging learning opportunities, Dalmain Primary School aims to nourish and encourage its pupils to become curious, confident and aspirational young citizens of the world.
While many men and women make up the teaching community across the world, there remains an imbalance, particularly within senior leadership. At primary school level, men are present at senior level at a ratio of almost 2:1. While progress has certainly been made over the years, there is still a long way to go, and this underrepresentation must be addressed at all levels if we are to inspire more women to strive for leadership positions.
