I am an independent educational research consultant, who specialises in research and evaluation, research reviews and research training.

I am also a Visiting Research Fellow at Oxford University Department of Educational Studies.

I work with clients who want rigorous and accessible research-based information communicated in a flexible and professional manner.

My work is underpinned by four main beliefs:

  • Research evidence and skills are central to educational improvement.
  • Good research is not only rigorous but also accessible and useable.
  • Developing new ways of doing and communicating research is critical.
  • Working independently is an exciting professional challenge.


My work draws on:

I am a member of the British Educational Research Association and the American Educational Research Association and a Fellow of the RSA.
