I'm head of Alton Convent School's prep department. The prep department is a co-educational independent Catholic day school for children from 3-11 in Hampshire, England. Professional interests include knowledge management in education, use of open source software and principles in schools, provision for the gifted and talented and independent learning.

I'm a chartered fellow of the Brtish Computer Society, and am a member of its Education and Training Expert Panel and e-learning specialist group. I'm also a fellow of the RSA, Mirandanet and Naace, serving on the latter's board of management. I'm managing the website for the Becta supported Open Source Schools community.

In my former post as deputy head of St Ives School, Haslemere, I pioneered the use of Moodle and Elgg in primary education. My work on implementing Moodle was documented as the dissertation for Leicester University's MBA in Educational Management, and won the 2006 Becta ICT in Practice Award for primary teaching. Other interests include classical music, creative cookery and photography.
