Why these resources exist...
After nearly twenty years working inside schools - and now as a parent myself - I’ve seen how confusing the system can feel from the outside.
​
I’ve spent my career helping schools think carefully about curriculum, assessment and relationships with families, including contributing to national discussions through giving evidence to the Education Select Committee in the House of Commons!

These resources are designed to give you clear, practical insight into how schools actually work - so you can make confident decisions and support your child effectively.
