Richard has spent most of his life in education and comes from a family with a background in education. He taught in Greece for a couple of years before joining and amazing project in Egypt. The first private school since the revolution in 1956. He completed his work there as Head of Secondary and High School. Thinking there could be no better experience in education he returned to UK to re-train as a small business adviser. But education came calling again and he took up a headship in Mexico. Then left to help found a school in rural Mexico starting with 14 students in a rented house.
Now Richard works with Cambridge University Press and Assessment. In the last year he has been pleased and proud to be one of the two International Climate Change Education Ambassadors for CUP&A. This gives him an opportunity to merge his lifelong passion for the environment with his professional work. An original degree in geography and an elected Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society started him on this path and he now speaks at conferences from Mombasa to Buenos Aires.
An avid reader on a wide range of topics he is now getting to grips with the AI revolution and has presented at conferences on this theme. We claim to educate students to be lifelong learners and Richard models this aspiration. Building his own house with a small team of local building workers is another learning experience.
