I am a lead school improvement adviser for English and moderation manager. Having taught across key stages 1 and 2, relatively recently, I am able to draw on my expertise to support schools with their English curriculum and teaching. I am passionate about empowering subject leaders and teachers to enact change in their setting. I provide training for teachers and English subject leaders around all areas of English, including a grammar course, reading course, phonics networks, subject leader networks. I also run projects with groups of schools. Recently I have been part of a successful writing project which addresses all aspects of the writing curriculum. I have also led on a secondary early reading project, empowering literacy leads withing secondaries to implement reading interventions and to develop disciplinary literacy skills across the school. My next project coming up will be implementing an effective oracy strategy in our primary and secondary schools. I also deliver assessment leader networks and provide training for teachers around various aspects of assessment, including an in-depth look at reading and writing assessments.

"Thank you so much for your presentation last Thursday-it was just what I needed to hear…Your passion and belief are infectious. Thank you for inspiring."
"I cannot express enough thanks for your valuable training tonight. All our staff are now so inspired and motivated to get our children's spellings up to standard! Thank you, thank you, thank you. We were so impressed with the whole training that we are now going to purchase the grammar programme."
"I have watched all five of your taster modules "
" in conjunction with Pearson Education and recently completed your course through ‘FutureLearn’: ‘An Introduction to Teaching Vocabulary’. I found the course to be extremely relevant, informative and easy to follow as well as incorporating useful strategies, supported by credible references. I have been very impressed by the Babcock courses and am looking forward to the new ones appearing. I have recommended your courses to my colleagues and also alerted our SLT to the value of the content."
