David Horton BEng(Hons)

With 20 years of working with technology in education, David is a valuable source of knowledge, experience and insight.  He is driven by a desire to do the very best for the children in schools, and for him this means equipping and empowering teachers.

​Thanks to nine years as the IAPS ICT Subject Adviser, David has done a great deal of presenting, training and consultancy and won many plaudits along the way.  Having worked both as Systems Manager and Head of ICT, he is uniquely placed to understand and advise on the relationship between the technical and academic aspects of technology in schools, which can often come into conflict.  

Add to this his experience of managing networks and rolling out new technologies (including 1:1 mobile devices) and you will find very few more broadly capable people around.  He has also recently begun to consult with external companies to help them improve their offering to schools, combining his experience of software development with an excellent understanding of what teachers want.
