• Olaf Hindmarsh

I am an Adviser for Art and Design & Artists in Education manager and also Co-ordinate Elective Home Education within Staffordshire.

My teaching career in Staffordshire has been across all phases of schools; specialising in Art and Design, I  have also been a Head of Year in both Middle and High school settings (pastoral head). I have some experience as a counsellor.

My interests include photography, gardening, DIY and local church. One of my goals this year is to be far more creative - possibly developing drawing and printmaking skills.

• David Boyle

I have worked with Staffordshire LEA for the last 34 years. Initially I taught chemistry in a high school before moving to a middle school as head of science. Since then I have spent the last 20 years in advisory work first with primary science before moving on to support in primary design and technology.

Other facets of my role include KS1 audit, governor clerking, NGfL support, web authoring, NOF mentoring and of course reviewing EHE provision across Staffordshire.

I live in an isolated cottage in the middle of nowhere and enjoy walking, back packing, camping, gardening, reading and travel.

• Anne Bird

My teaching career has included Primary, Secondary and Special schools both in England (Leicester, Lichfield, Cannock, Stafford, Tamworth and Newcastle under Lyme) and Canada.

I retired as head of Merryfields Community Special School in Newcastle under Lyme in August 2005 after ten happy years of headship. The school met the needs of students aged 2 - 19 with a wide variety of special educational needs, linking with and supporting local mainstream schools and colleges and district education services.

Retirement has brought the chance to have more time with my own family, old and young, and to 'indulge' in creative hobbies and travel.

I have enjoyed working for Staffordshire LA for many years and have a strong commitment to the rights and positive educational experiences of all young people.

This opportunity to work with families who have chosen home education is exciting and enjoyable.
