Quinn Education Development
At the helm of Quinn Education Development is Sarah Quinn. Sarah delivers training and support to schools, working closely with leadership teams and teachers to raise the quality of their practice and the outcomes for children. Her training covers a range of areas including leadership, teaching, curriculum, assessment and early years. Sarah was a highly successful primary school teacher and leader and can offer bespoke training to meet your needs as your education consultant.
In the past, Sarah has worked as a managing inspector for Ofsted and as the Central Senior Managing Inspector for CfBT Inspection Services . She has developed assessment and tracking, and curriculum and teaching systems for early years settings from birth to five. Sarah has also authored articles for ‘Early Years Educator’ and ‘Nursery World’ and has publications available which can be found through our online store. Sarah can also be found as a keynote speaker at various conferences across the country and has taken her knowledge across to Asia, helping to develop training in local settings.
Sarah can also share personal experience of ADHD, which parents and teachers may find helpful and supportive to understand the unique brain of a child with ADHD. As an adult with ADHD, Sarah feels it is important to help primary care-givers and educators to understand their children and learn the effective ways to deliver education to children with ADHD, helping to inspire and empower them to become successful adults.
