Louise Whitfield

Over my career I have taught in primary schools across 3 different local authorities, holding roles including Early Years Leader and SEN Governor. I have also been subject leader for History and Art. I have worked in a number of different contexts from a small village school to a large primary school with attached nursery and resourced provision. I gained my MLDP (Middle Leadership) qualification whilst working in West Sussex, focusing on a project to raise boys' writing levels in schools.

I began working as a Lecturer in Primary Education at York St John University in September 2015. I have successfully completed my Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice and I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I teach across all year groups on the BA Primary Education programme and I am also an Academic Tutor and Lead Mentor.
