We are a dance family that look out for each other and encourage our pupils to succeed with their dreams. GE is a safe and loving environment where all attendees whether young or old enjoy themselves and feel accepted regardless of background, or technique in dance. Our school is built on the ‘3Es’: ‘Equip, Encourage and Engage’ to help our pupils grow and excel in dance, as individuals, as a team, and in making a difference in the world around them. 1) Equip GE seeks to bring excellence into our teaching and quality of dance. We aim to bring in the right balance of fun, challenge and variety in the classes that we teach. Regardless of whether our pupils are with us for a term or for some years we seek to equip them with a new skill that will aid them in their journey through life. 2) Encourage Encouragement is something we love to share and grow in our pupils. It’s so easy to look at the negatives, especially in learning something new. We aim to focus on the positives before addressing the improvements or gentle corrections. At times our pupils will watch each other and learn to feedback with two encouragement points and one improvement point. In doing this they learn to build each other up and recognise each other’s individual strengths and giftings. Each dancer is unique. 3) Engage Community is something we care deeply about and we see dance as an opportunity to make a difference where we can. We give pupils opportunities to take part in fundraisers, community projects and shows to teach them that they can help others and make the world a better place. As a dance school we love to liaise with charities, churches and schools and have been involved with SU camps, school projects, fundraisers and outreaches.

I have 2 amazing children Noah and Phoebe who love to help me out in the kitchen and join in with classes and workshops whenever they can. My wonderful husband Andy shares my passion for cooking and enjoying good food. He has been a sweet chef in a Michelin star restaurant but these days he is kept busy preparing ingredients and washing the pots from the Cook Stars sessions. I come from a family of foodies and food lovers. My mum Marion, introduced me to cooking from a very early age when I would often "help her" in the kitchen. She even used to come into my junior school to volunteer to teach baking and ended up doing this for 25 years!! My brother was also inspired and now owns his own Michelin star restaurant! My degree is in Psychology and Sociology but I have always had an interest in learning about food, cooking and sharing my knowledge and skills. I worked in the hospitality industry as a waitress for many years from part time while going through my education to full time as restaurant supervisor and back to being a waitress while starting out in my teaching career. After graduating I moved to Romania for a short time doing charity work in Gypsy villages particularly working with the children within the communities and helping to feed the villagers by making soup twice a week with one of the heads of the village and distributing it to villagers in need. I worked in a local secondary school for 15 years first as a teaching assistant working in a variety of subjects with students with a variety of needs. I completed my training as a Food teacher in 2005, I have taught a variety of food courses in KS3 and KS4. I was head of the D&T faculty and also worked alongside some local primary schools on a variety of projects. On my return to work after having Phoebe I realised that I needed to look at different avenues to regain my work life balance. Cook stars is the perfect opportunity for me to do this. I can do what I truly love which is teaching Kids to cook and encouraging children to enjoy cooking and learning about nutrition.
