About Me

I am interested in education, history and public policy, and in the history of education and public policy, and in the implications for public policy, including education, of history.

I've been a classroom teacher, middle and senior school leader, a curriculum specialist across some of the best schools in the country, a teacher trainer, a policy professional in Westminster, and now I do a mixture of all those things.

"The great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do." - James Baldwin
