I have taught maths and science in London and abroad, more recently been employed as an adviser in English and Welsh local authorities. I have just been appointed to run a project funded by the European Social Fund in five Welsh authorities aimed at reducing disaffection among pupils in Key Stage 3 and to boost uptake of science, technology, engineering and maths related options and eventually careers. I am a keen P4C facilitator, although I usually refer to it as P4Teens when involved in work with secondary pupils.
