Design & Technology Consultant and Curriculum Leader
With over 15 years of teaching experience and 9 years leading successful Design and Technology departments, I provide practical consultancy, training, and support for schools looking to enhance curriculum quality, improve Health and Safety standards, and develop staff confidence.
As a current teacher of Design and Technology, Engineering, Art, and Food Technology, I understand the daily demands placed on schools and departments. My advice is grounded in current classroom practice, ensuring that the support I provide is both relevant and immediately actionable.
As a Registered Design and Technology Health & Safety Consultant, I offer bespoke training programmes aligned with BS 4163:2021+A1:2022, helping schools create safe, compliant, and effective learning environments.
Whether supporting new teachers, developing experienced staff, or preparing departments for inspection and improvement, my focus is always on raising standards through practical, sustainable solutions.
