Sarah is a Forest School Leader and University Lecturer, teaching child development and inclusion. An ex-head teacher, Sarah knew all the best outdoor hiding places, as it was the school she attended as a child! In the classroom, Sarah specialised in early years and is a columnist for Teach Early Years.

Sarah’s first book, Outdoor Play for Healthy Little Minds, was published recently by Routledge and guides early years practitioners through the best outdoor play strategies for developing young children’s mental and physical well-being.

Before teaching, Sarah managed projects for a national digital media charity, giving a platform to unheard voices.
