NAVEED IDREES OBE
FEVERSHAM ACADEMY HEADTEACHER
Naveed Idrees OBE is the Tes Headteacher Of The Year Winner 2019. With his incredible vision and team, Naveed leads an inner-city primary with outstanding progress and attainment. Despite the school’s exceptional results, the focus has not solely been on English and maths but on music, arts, culture and outdoor learning. It's these kind of values that align with KOOLSTORY's mission, and why we are ecstatic to be working with them. Have a listen to what Naveed had to say about the KOOLSTORY INSET day.
“Speaks to the pedagogy of the soul.”
“Children's creativity and imagination.”
“In the age of AI, we want to produce thinking, creative children, not robots.”

“The energy that Saira brings... That is what is needed in the classroom.”
“My knowledge of creative writing was not the best, but having it taught and demonstrated was really good.”
