Meet Chloe – Heart First, Heels Second, Always for the Children

Chloe has been part of education since she was just 17, and from the very beginning, one thing was certain, she was never going to sit quietly while there was work to be done for young people.

Over the years, she’s worn more hats than most wardrobes could hold: Attendance Co-ordinator, Head of Mediation, Community Lead for Transition, Deputy Head of Year, Head of Year, Student Safeguarding Manager, and Alternative Provision Lead. Each role has shaped her, stretched her, and strengthened her belief that every child has a story worth listening to and the potential to change the world.

Now proudly serving as the Safeguarding Trustee for No Limits, Chloe brings her signature blend of warmth, empathy, and fierce hope to everything she does. Her journey in safeguarding has always been personal; rooted in lived experience and fuelled by connection. Inspired by The Starfish Story by Loren Eiseley, she built what became known as Team Starfish, a community of educators and quiet revolutionaries who believe that even if we can’t change the world for everyone, we can change it for someone.

Her home (and let’s be honest, her office too) tells its own story: pink shoes by the door, coffee on the go, starfish and Jellycats scattered like tiny reminders that kindness is power and belonging is the real curriculum.

When she’s not advocating for children’s rights (sorry, not sorry), you’ll find her with a book in hand, sunlight on her face, or somewhere near the sea, often in Italy, definitely in pink. She’ll tell you she’s a work in progress: still learning, still leading with heart, still believing that the smallest acts of humanity can spark the biggest ripples of change.

For Chloe, leadership isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence.
It’s about showing up, fully and honestly, and reminding others that where you come from is simply where you started — never where you’re destined to stay.

Always thinking, always dreaming, always doing because as she’ll say with a smile,

“The world needs to be a kinder place for children.
(And maybe, just maybe, someone will look after me when I’m old too.)”
