About me







I'm a founding member of the Geography Collective, a collective of Guerrilla Geography activists, teachers, therapists, academics and artists. We’ve come together to encourage (young) people to see and think about our world in new ways. We make books, websites, events, interventions, explorations and more.

My work has attracted some bling over the years. In 2013 I was recognised with the Ordnance Survey Excellence in Geography Teaching Award by the Royal Geographical Society. I am a Fellow of the RGS and Chartered Geographer. Proud to be a Microsoft Innovative Educator, Jamie Oliver Dream Teacher and Best Teacher Blog of 2011 in the Education Blog Awards. From 2011, I was responsible for developing and implementing a Bring Your Own Device Policy at Priory School and as Curriculum Leader for Geography I increased the headline A*-C GCSE grades by 32%. The department was accredited as a Geographical Association Centre of Excellence.

 I consider myself an education activist, organising TeachMeet Pompey and speaking at a range of conferences and events.

In 2013 was the recipient of the Royal Geographical Society's Ordnance Survey Award for excellence in geography teaching.

 I'm not a fan of desks, but have sat at one long enough to develop a range of textbooks and award winning online resources including the award winning classroom study aids from Discover the World, a GCSE Revsion Resource for Philip Allan and am currently working on projects for Hodder.

When not working I take mountains, coffee, real ale and running seriously and recently completed the Leith Hill Half Marathon is just over 2 hours and the Brighton Marathon in 4 hours 3 minutes. 

 I'm always on an adventure and can be found knocking around in Goring by Sea in West Sussex.

High Impact, Low effort

This month is the start of the #29daysofwriting challenge.  I enjoyed this last year and will be using my Staffrm account to post.  I'll also be reporting here, both to give a little more detail and to keep a log of what I have written. The challenge developed a great sense of community last year, which is why I'm choosing to write on Staffrm. What I would say to those who are new to writing or don't want to run out of ideas is: Write for yourself. Clarify an idea, write something out loud. The process of distilling thoughts into writing is immensely beneficial to your practice. If other read, comment and respond, that's a bonus. Ignore the muppets who know nothing of your context, style or students. Mix it up - I like to read about real stuff from real classrooms and schools and also about other stuff.  If we always write about school, how does that work for workload? If you've nothing nice to say, don't say it. So, the following has been ...

What makes a learning experience profound? Personal reflections and possible implications for classroom practice.

I have recently begun a Leadership Pathways journey.  As part of the first core day, we were asked to reflect on a profound learning experience. This got me thinking about how many profound learning experiences I have both been involved in, and how many I have been able to give to others.  Our group came up with a huge long list, but these are my five. Emotional Connected Demanding Reflective Collaborative As always, these are personal thoughts and quite mixed up.  I put them here so that I can look back on them (plus they’d get lost inside my world-cup-free brain) 1. Emotional I can’t think of a time where deep learning hasn’t engaged my emotions.  From being awe inspired to that tingle feeling when a student gets a light bulb moment.  From this-is-the-happiest-day-ever, to I-think-I’m-about-to die.  How often do we engage the emotions of those we teach?  Here, I would argue that having a safe learning environment i...

Banned Word Board

Today I want to share some simple ideas that I have found to be very effective in the classroom. I can't say that they are my own original ideas, although I have played around with them. The first is the Banned word Board. This is a simple display in the classroom that lists a number of words that are not allowed to be used by pupils in their written or oral answers. The effect has been an increase in the quality of written work, and I have almost made comments such as 'Sir it's simple, the stuff just affects the thing and causes people problems'. Pupils are now more able to use specific language, something that is vital especially at GCSE. I have had to make a few modifications, such as the introduction of 'Heavenly Words' This is an additional display placed on the ceiling. I found this necessary as pupils needed some stimulus in finding replacement words. After advice received after posting the idea on the SLN forum , I have also introduced semi-banned words...
