Welcome to the Hinchley Wood School website; I hope you find it useful and informative and that it gives you some sense of the school’s vitality, values and of the many achievements of our students. Underlying all that we do is our vision, what we regard as our purpose which is “Inspiring Learners”. We are committed to securing the very best for all our students and in doing so, teaching them the five values that lie at the heart of everything we do; enthusiasm and a determination to succeed even when the going gets tough; confidence to ask for help when students need it and to work independently when they don’t; consideration and respect for each and every member of our school and local community. We offer a rich, varied and stimulating curriculum as well as high quality purpose built accommodation including a music suite with state-of-the-art recording studio and extensive practice rooms, a sports hall with purpose built gym and dance studio, five ICT suites and astro turf sports pitches. As a school we strive constantly to improve on our previous best and particular importance is placed on recognising and rewarding individual achievement. Students are actively encouraged to participate in a wide range of artistic and sporting activities with many gaining recognition at local and national level for their achievements. Our core business is teaching and learning and we have a relentless focus on teaching lessons of the highest quality - lessons which stimulate and inspire young minds. For our students this is not just a vision but a reality: The last school Ofsted Inspection said “Hinchley Wood is an outstanding school………Students work exceptionally well together in this harmonious and cohesive community and achieve excellent outcomes.” If this is the sort of school you wish your child to be part of I do hope you will apply for them to come and join us.

I first took up silk painting at the 2001 Knitting and Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace, when the Fabric Colour Workshop were doing taster sessions. I went with curiosity, and came home with a large frame, some silk, a brush and a box of little bottles of paint! Since then, I have completed my City and Guilds qualification in creative textiles (silk painting), and the "Access to Art & Design" Diploma at the University for Creative Arts in Farnham. I enjoy teaching silk painting and helping each student to achieve their potential. I have written tutorials on aspects of silk painting for Crafts Beautiful Magazine and Creative Crafting Magazine, and contributed three projects to "Craft", which was published by Dorling Kindersley. I appeared (briefly!) on Paul Martin's Handmade Revolution (BBC2), and was interviewed by the Victoria & Albert Museum as part of a project on traditional crafts. I have run silk painting workshops for many local organisations including Watts Gallery, The Lightbox, The West End Centre in Aldershot, Amberley Museum, Woking College, NADFAS, The Embroiderers' Guild, the Guild of Weavers Spinners & Dyers, and the WI. I have also run introductory evening workshops for a number of local businesses, and many private parties. I have also been working in fused glass and ceramics since 2009, and have my own home workshop. I have been on a number of courses at Glasszoo, UCA Farnham, Warm Glass and The Glass Hub, and have also attended workshops at the International Festival of Glass. I have been featured in the Glass Beadmakers UK Magazine and Journal. I am a member of the Guild of Silk Painters. I set up their Surrey Branch in 2005. I have also spent time on the Guild of Silk Painters Executive Committee as their Vice Chairman and, more recently, as their Publicity Officer. My silk painting courses are also listed on craftcourses.com. I produce a range of hand made accessories and homewares from hand painted silk and fused glass, suitable for all occasions. Please do let me know if you have any questions. You can also visit www.surreycelloteacher.co.uk to find out about my other work.
