International Events
I hold both online and in person international events, bringing educators together from diverse contexts to share ideas, learn collaboratively, and strengthen practice. These events blend inspiring input with practical strategies, ensuring participants leave with new perspectives and clear steps they can apply in their own settings.

Learning Programme for 2025/26: Understanding and supporting child development
This exceptional value guided learning programme will take international early years teaching assistants deep into the heart of what truly shapes a child's learning and development.
Over ten engaging sessions throughout the 2025/26 academic year, participants will explore key areas of child development from birth to seven years, which I will bring to life using photos, and videos, while also drawing on participants’ own observations from their school settings.

Bangkok Conference
Primary consultant Jonny Allams joins me for this this three-day professional learning experience, designed to help educators reimagine writing from the earliest marks in Nursery to purposeful, confident writing in Year 4.
Friday 27th Feb - Sunday 1st March 2026 at Bangkok Patana School, Bangkok, Thailand
Focus: Developing independent writers: a progressive journey into writing from Early Years to Key Stage 2. Supporting children aged 3 - 9 years to build competence, confidence and creativity in writing
Over the three days, we will share a model for a writing programme rooted in a developmentally appropriate and playful approach, which enhances, rather than compromises curriculum expectations.
It will focus on embracing writing as a powerful tool for thinking, communication and creativity rather than just a curriculum outcome.
Combining practical strategies with pedagogical clarity, this conference equips practitioners with everything they need to build a continuum of writing that begins with imagination and ends with real impact.

Book a visit while I'm in your part of the world
I often combine international events with consultancy in schools. If I’m holding an event in your area, it’s a great opportunity to book support without the additional cost of international travel. These slots are limited and usually book up quickly, so do get in touch early if you’d like to enquire about this.
On-demand professional learning
Alongside live work, I offer on-demand CPD through The Place to Learn — a growing library of short training films and webinars for whole teams or individuals. Members get unlimited access to 100+ hours of input, with reflection tasks, action planning, certificates and the option to learn together or at your own pace.
