About Me

Thanks for reading my blog. Here's a bit about me... I'm a teacher with 15 years of experience in FE, HE and local government. As well as writing about education I have recently rediscovered the joy of creative writing. It's rough around the edges as most of it is written in snatches of time, but I'm hoping that one day I can dedicate more time to it. Writing (anything) is a massive pleasure so thank you for taking the time to share my words.
