BSc (Geography), PGCE
Emma is originally from Twickenham, England, and draws upon 10 years of classroom and outdoor teaching experience in the UK and Thailand. She started her career in Central London where she identified the need for children to have access to nature. Taking lessons outside, Emma created valuable outdoor learning opportunities for her pupils including allotments, a Science Garden and Forest School.
Emma studied Geography at the University of Southampton and completed her Primary PGCE at St Mary’s University Twickenham. She strongly believes that a school should ignite curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with children for the rest of their lives. Emma loves the outdoors and the benefits it provides for the physical and mental health of children – and adults! In her free time, she likes to go hiking, surfing, surf skating, sailing and SUP boarding.
