About me
With 30 years of experience in education, as a teacher, headteacher and leading adviser for school improvement, Alex is proud to lead Curriculum with Unity Schools Partnership (CUSP) with Lauren Meadows. He is the author of Pupil Book Study - the book that influenced the methodology for Ofsted's deep dives because he was dissatisfied with schools just looking at books and making assumptions. Pupil Book Study is published by John Catt and sold worldwide. Alex is also the co-author of Pupil Book Study Reading and EYFS: Language of Learning. Working with teachers in classrooms throughout USP and beyond, Alex tirelessly implements evidence-informed practice.
His rule for school is simple: teach with excellence and never write anyone off.
Husband to Becky (a phenomenal reception teacher) and proud father of Jack and Finn; adventure calls to Alex and he is regularly drawn to the sea and mountains.
