Photographer Reflects on Epic Journey to the Arctic
Большое спасибо! That is 'Thank you very much! in Russian. One of the many phrases I have learned on my 'Beyond 60 degrees North' epic journey to photograph communities and the effect of global warming in the Arctic Circle. Without the support of the Arts Council and Learning Beyond this would simply not have been possible.

Providing parenting support
We know that we can make a real difference through supporting parents on our patch. I am a professional member of the school staff but see my role as an advocate for parents. I can help ‘bridge the divide’ between school and community and ensure parents engage with the school and are fully equipped to support their child’s learning.
