David has nearly forty years of educational experience as a teacher, senior manager, local authority consultant and school improvement adviser. His work with individual and groups of schools across the UK and abroad is always focused on ways of achieving improved outcomes for pupils through the professional development of teachers. David’s annual training programmes around the country attract hundreds of teachers and receive outstanding evaluations. He also contributes to Early Years and Primary SCITT, Teach Direct and university PGCE programmes. Whether working directly with teachers and senior leaders in schools or writing new learning and teaching materials, David always seeks to improve the engagement and raise the performance of children and young people at all stages through the carefully planned progression of key subject knowledge, concepts and skills. David’s focus is always on learning and in particular on identifying challenging subject outcomes which are made accessible to pupils through key question led enquiries both inside and outside of the classroom. He has particular expertise in designing cross curricular learning programmes which integrate the teaching of English and Mathematics as part of relevant and engaging investigations which support pupils to study places, issues, people and events at depth rather than on a superficial level. His enquiry-based approach teaches important subject knowledge whilst emphasising the significance of teachers allowing time and opportunity for pupils to master key subject skills and outcomes by ‘doing less better’. David has been a Harper Collins author at primary and secondary levels for many years and his Primary Connected Geography framework published in 2016 was highly commended by the Geographical Association and was his third such publications award. The corresponding Primary Connected History scheme was published in 2018. As well as Geography and History David also has particular expertise in developing Education for Sustainability (encompassing environmental education, global citizenship and outdoor learning) and associated sustainable schools programmes. In addition to his national programme of Geography and History training David also provides bespoke support to individual or federations of schools and to subject leaders across the United Kingdom and internationally. He teaches regularly. David Weatherly Secondary School Deputy Headteacher I came on your course in January - in fact I also came to one the year before. I just wanted to let you know that I just presented my subject audit to staff and senior management and it was very well received. Lots of people were inspired and it is down to your course. We now have a really clear vision for Geography and we are looking forward to getting together and revitalising our planning for September. We have a lot of changes to make, but the positivity I am getting from people is awesome. I just wanted to say thank you for your help and for inspiring me. Your courses have honestly been the best I have been on in my career. Primary School Deputy Headteacher A fantastic, inspirational course which, as a deputy and English subject leader, I found matched what we want to do in school perfectly. A wonderful antidote to today’s education ‘policy’ - thank you so much. The discussion of the skills that the children needed (at a teacher level) and the assessment teachers should be planning and looking for (at a co-ordinator/managerial level) was beautifully, simply and eloquently presented

Sarah found herself having to find schooling for her three young daughters as her family was relocated around the world through work commitments. Her experiences in places such as Ireland, Kenya, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain as well as on her return to the UK, meant that she understood all too well the stresses that come with moving to a new country and the potential for emotional turmoil when helping young children to settle into a new school in a different country. Since it was founded, Educatus has assisted hundreds of parents moving to the UK and Ireland from elsewhere in the world. The company has focussed on building a dedicated team of consultants with experience in both UK and International education. Families are introduced to Educatus through the Global Mobility Industry, corporate clients and through word of mouth leading to discrete assignments helping individual relocating families. For relocating families, Educatus offers a highly personalised and professional service, aimed at exploring every option within the chosen strand of education – be it private or state education, nursery, special education, college or university. The consultancy team understand that relocating is a challenge for the whole family, and use their educational experience to offer the right level of support and offering a range of services, all designed with the family in mind. For global mobility and corporate organisations relocating employees with families, the challenge lies in showing the potential assignee the benefits of the range of education options available to them in the UK. Educatus provides an expert solution to an issue that can potentially derail an otherwise successful employee relocation project. The team understand that for parents, the decision to accept an international assignment can hinge on whether their children’s education and wellbeing can be assured. With this in mind, Educatus delivers their service with a careful balance tipped towards empathy, but always aimed at managing expectations and delivering results. For corporations, Educatus offers a range of consulting options focussed on policy assistance and benchmarking, educational site assessment, group move advice and location surveys for schooling solutions. The team can even organise presentations to explain the many educational options available in the UK.
