  David was Headteacher at The Ashcombe School from 2004 to 2019, having previously been Deputy Head. When SESSET was established in 2017 he became Executive Head and Accounting Officer. He was instrumental in The Ashcombe becoming a Language College in 1998 with a focus on the innovative use of technology in language learning and working collaboratively with all local schools in the Dorking Schools Language Development Group. This expanded with the formation of the Dorking Schools Partnership. He also continues to be involved with the Surrey Alternative Learning Programme which was set up in 2010 to coordinate provision across Surrey. 

  As well as working with the Association of School and College Leaders at a national level on data, he has also worked with Surrey Heads and other groups. He continues as co-chair of the Leadership Partner Schools Network, a small countrywide group of schools.
