I have worked in education for over 40 (!) years in England, Portugal, and Spain.
Throughout all stages of primary education, I have acted in senior leadership roles, including Pastoral, Safeguarding Lead, School Counsellor, and School Lead in PSHE and Religious Education. 
I spent four years working at a leading London prep school, in charge of the pastoral care team and writing its first PSHE curriculum. 
​As a teacher, the emotional well-being of the children in my care has always been at the heart of my work in education.
