About Me

  • About Me

I began teaching in the UK, where I specialised in science. Seven years later, the seven year itch, curiosity and a fairly persistent case of FOMO took me overseas. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to work in schools across different countries and cultures, picking up new ideas, new perspectives and plenty to think about along the way.

I’m fascinated by so many parts of education: curriculum, pedagogy, leadership and coaching, student wellbeing, and the science of how we learn. I especially love exploring how they all connect, because one thought nearly always seems to lead to another.

I don’t profess to know everything, I’m glad I don’t because it means I get to learn something new every day. I usually have a few thoughts on whatever comes my way, and I enjoy bouncing them around. This is where I write them down.

I love learning, I love thinking and I genuinely love having my thinking challenged. So if something here makes you nod, twitch or want to argue, I’d really like to hear about it. You can find me on LinkedIn or Instagram, or subscribe to my Ramblings and I’ll send new posts straight to your inbox.

And just so it’s said, my thoughts are my own. They don’t necessarily reflect those of my employer, but they might. Who knows!

There's always a new strategy doing the rounds, and it's easy to feel a bit behind if you're not using it. Friday morning, a brew (beans or a bag) and a wheel that picks what we're putting the world to rights about before the bell goes. This week's Brain Fart: what do parents most misunderstand about school, and what do schools misunderstand about parents? ☕ Staffroom Shelf: November Some days school feels enormous, and it's easy to wonder whether the little things you do even register. Being a beginner can feel a bit uncomfortable, especially when you've been doing this job for years. Every school has a weather system. You can feel it the minute you walk through the doors. Busy weeks have a way of squeezing out the little kindnesses. Yet they're often the bits people remember most. We've all had that moment. The email that makes your jaw tighten, the comment in a meeting that lands badly, the student who knows exactly which button to press. Comfort is lovely. A brew, a familiar routine, the lesson you could teach in your sleep. But growth rarely happens there. Professionalism beats Politics
