I am an independent educational technology consultant, teacher trainer and languages teacher.

I’m now living in West Sussex after a teaching career spent in UK curriculum schools at home and abroad, most recently as Head of Technology for Learning at the British curriculum Tanglin Trust School in Singapore from 2011-2020. Since returning to the UK in 2020,  I have been using my experience and my status as a certified Microsoft and Apple Trainer to work with schools on Digital Strategy and making the best educational use of student and staff devices. In the past year the focus has shifted, unsurprisingly, to delivering consultancy and training around Artificial Intelligence.

I can run online training, or travel anywhere in the UK, Europe and the Middle East to offer up to two weeks of residential training and consultancy, allowing schools maximum flexibility in terms of timetabling leaders and staff to spend time with me, individually, in small groups and sometimes as departments.

Current and recent consultancy and training work with schools

Stamford School, Lincolnshire

I have been regularly supporting Stamford School since March 2022, working with the Girls, Boys and Junior Schools on the practical benefits of Microsoft OneNote, Teams and other tools for productivity, accessibility and engagement.

As of September 2023 I am currently formally attached to the school as the Technology for Learning Coordinator, responsible for training new staff in Microsoft Teams and OneNote and visiting for 8 weeks of workshop deliveries spaced across the academic year, with the focus this year firmly on how teachers and students can embrace Artificial Intelligence.

King Edward VI Grammar School, Louth

In October 2021 and March 2022, I spent two separate residential weeks at King Edward VI Grammar School in Louth, helping them refine their digital strategy as they began their personal device journey, and training Heads of Departments and others in Microsoft OneNote, as well as running workshops on the best tools for accessibility, zero-prep AFL, engagement and interactivity.

Sherborne Girls, Dorset

In June 2019 I spent two days intensively training a cross-curricular group of ‘digital champion teachers’ to become OneNote Ninjas. They then spread this learning to colleagues throughout the year, putting the school in a position where it was able to switch seamlessly to remote teaching and learning when Covid hit.

Between September 2020 and April 2021 I also enjoyed a two-term appointment as the ‘Learning Technologist in Residence’ at Sherborne Girls, developing their Digital Strategy, training staff in all curriculum areas to use Microsoft OneNote, Teams, Stream, Forms, Immersive Reader and Whiteboard, along with a wide range of other tools such as Flipgrid, Adobe Spark Video and Socrative, to engage the pupils during live, remote and hybrid lessons. This work led to preparing the school for an AMCIS Digital Impact award, a TES Best use of Technology award, and a Microsoft Showcase School application and subsequent award. This video gives a good flavour of the school’s direction of travel.

In January 2024 I returned to Sherborne Girls to lead a day of discussions with leadership around the game-changing potential of Artificial Intelligence for teaching, learning and assessment and look forward to continued involvement with the school in this space.

Sherborne Boys and Port Regis Prep School, Dorset

In 2021 I spoke at Sherborne Boys School on Creating a 21st Century Learning Environment and undertook consultancy work with Port Regis Prep School in reference to best practice in embarking upon a 1 to 1 student device programme.

Tanglin Trust School, Singapore

From 2011-2020 I was Head of Technology for Learning at Tanglin Trust School in Singapore, responsible for:

  • Devising and implementing the school’s digital strategy.
  • Implementing a 1 to 1 pen-enabled student device programme (iPads and Microsoft Surfaces)
  • Moving teachers to Windows 10 pen-enabled devices, untethering them from the whiteboard, adopting Microsoft Teams and OneNote class notebooks to achieve seamless communication, planning and workflow.
  • Training teachers in the effective use of technology, both internally and across the Asia-Pacific region as a Microsoft Fellow and Trainer.

This video , filmed at our school by Microsoft, (and narrated by me!) nicely articulates our digital transformation journey.
