Profile
I work with schools, institutions and academy trusts, face-to-face and online, to support all aspects of English and develop networks for teacher research and learning. Mainly based in the south-east, I am keen to promote evidenced approaches and have a particular interest in the teaching and assessment of writing. Most importantly though, I want teachers and children to LOVE English. I promote Reading for Pleasure (RfP) in schools and through a Teachers’ Reading Group that I lead in association with The Open University and United Kingdom Literacy Association (UKLA). I also sit on the editorial board of English 4-11, a subject-centred magazine for primary teachers jointly published by the English Association and UKLA.

Testimonials
"Completed a spelling and phonics course and found it really useful. I have recently taken on English lead and learned lots about spelling rules in a short space of time. Subject knowledge was excellent and the resources provided look great. I can't wait to try out ideas when school is back to normal."

I lead the English PGCE course at Nottingham Trent University. I was born in Nottingham, studied English at Durham University and gained my PGCE from Oxford University. After this I worked as secondary school English teacher in Oxford, with responsibility for promoting reading at KS3 and KS4. I moved back to Nottingham to become an Advanced Skills Teacher, and then a Specialist Leader in Education. These roles included training staff, improving teaching and learning across a network of schools and developing provision for literacy support and intervention. I am currently working on my Masters in Education and am keen to connect with other educators to share ideas and best practice.
