About
Science education is the thread that connects the work.

The idea
A professional education practice, not a collection of disconnected services
I have worked across secondary science teaching and leadership in the UK and internationally, including Head of Science and Head of Physics responsibilities. That experience matters because the same problems recur at different scales. A misconception that blocks one student can become a curriculum problem across a year group. A weak explanation can become a weak resource. A good classroom model can become a useful simulation or teacher tool.

Developing professional practice
Alternative provision and inclusive science teaching
A new strand of my professional work is beginning in alternative provision. I am treating that as an area in which to learn, reflect and develop practice rather than as expertise to overclaim. It is particularly relevant to engagement, relationships and boundaries, adaptive science teaching, curriculum accessibility, practical and visual learning, and the thoughtful use of technology where conventional classroom approaches have not worked well for a learner.
Where the work can lead
Students and families can start with tuition. Teachers can start with the learning and simulation tools. Science leaders can discuss curriculum, assessment or departmental development. School leaders can discuss educational technology, digital strategy or responsible AI implementation.
