Rachel Goodall - BA Hons - Cert Ed
As a former teacher with QTS and 15 years of teaching for Hampshire County Council , a degree in Contemporary Performing Arts AND Industry experience – as well as experience in large scale heritage project work
Rachel believes that storytelling holds the key to learning about ourselves as humans, with origins of our early beliefs, understanding of the world around us and our own humanity, passed down from generations to generation through storytelling.
Bringing stories to life, firing up childrens imaginations offers a gateway into reading and inspires a love of literature that will last a life time and beyond.
