Head of Learning and Participation at Cheltenham Festivals. Passionate about access to culture for all and equity in education. Reads a lot, walks a lot and suffers every year as a season ticket holder at Tottenham Hotspur.
‘Reading role models do not need to be perfect - children need to identify with adults struggles too. We need to accept that reading isn’t a joy for everyone- it takes work’ useful insights from Sarah Cooksey #cheltenamfestivals #primarylibraries
