Penny Garner

I have 40 year’s experience in the education sector, initially training and working as a primary school teacher. Once I had my own children, one of whom attended Coppice Valley Primary School, I moved into higher education and had responsibility for developing and delivering the Foundation Degree in Young Children’s Learning and Development.

After a stint as a quality manager and head of Vocational Studies at a local FE college, I am now working as an outreach manager at a university in York.

Along the way, I trained as a Forest School practitioner and endeavour these days to produce the odd vegetable on my much loved allotment.
