DUNCAN BYRNE

Head Master Loughborough Grammar School

“Over more than a decade working with Loughborough Grammar School pupils, Daljit has had a transformational effect on the development of dozens of students through her leadership of STEM competitions. She is an expert facilitator who has created the ideal environment in which students can explore their innovative ideas and learn to understand that failure is part of the creative process before these ideas can become reality. Daljit manages to harness students’ inner creativity by listening, probing and, most importantly, by giving them the confidence that their ideas are achievable. As a result, she has supported several teams to success in the national TeenTech competition, as well as mentoring the overall winners of the Big Bang Competition in both 2017 and 2019. I am so pleased that, despite having moved on from LGS to undertake a regional STEM education leadership role, she continues to lead our provision through her STEM Sundays.”
