I'm Sarah. Like many teacher-types, I like to organise things in labelled baskets and have a penchant for nice colouring pencils. Wife, mum of two and enthusiastic shower singer. 

​

I set up as a freelance creative education consultant three years ago after an immensely enjoyable decade in teaching. I had left my senior management role at a diverse London primary school to relocate our family to Oxfordshire when I saw a consultancy post advertised which appealed to my interest in the Arts. I had written a book for an educational publisher previously which meant I had the experience of meeting a brief, and was always interested in exploring the learning opportunities provided by cultural establishments, both professionally and with my family. My efficiency, enthusiasm and creativity won the contract, alongside a clear and current understanding of their target audience. 

 

As I continue to develop my consultancy and writing portfolio, it will always be important to me to upkeep my teaching practice. I passionately believe this is the best way to create relevant, practical resources that are genuinely attractive to their audience. This is what sets me apart from other consultants. Experienced they may be, but this is often means they haven’t set foot in a classroom for a while and no longer readily consider the logistical factors that can become barriers to school engagement.

 

My favourite thing about freelance work is the opportunity to work with such a variety of organisations. I thrive off the palpable buzz of collaboration, and, as we all know, the joy of working in education is that there's always something new to discover.
