Mick Hutchison

Dr Mick Hutchison is the headteacher at EWD school in Northumberland. Mick joined the school as a PE teacher in 2012 and has progressively moved up through the leadership structure becoming the headteacher in November 2022. Mick took over the school at an incredibly difficult time – the school had recently moved to a new site, the move had not gone well and we were placed in special measures.

Following 18 months of amazing work from an incredible team they turned the school around and were graded good in all areas in the Summer of 2024. Mick’s specialist area is motivation in education (quite apt!) and he is particularly interested in people’s personal stories and how they shape our world view.
