Phillip has had over ten years’ experience of teaching pupils with a wide range of special needs and behavioural challenges. He has also worked with very high-achieving pupils in international settings and schools. He sees Art and Design and Making activities as important forms of expression which lead to open-ended personal solutions and the development of core skills such as research, communication and problem solving which are key transferable skills in social interactions and the world of work and further education. He has also worked as a freelance graphic designer, photographer and furniture maker and brings experience of the working world outside of teaching.
