Project Responsibilities
Philippa is a key member of the Interpretive Planning team bringing several years of Primary Teaching experience to the mix to ensure that our approach is inclusive in every sense. She is an ardent believer in how education in the heritage sector is key to young children understanding the value of their shared story and this is evidenced by her experience in Integrated Education.
With a thorough understanding and practice of Special Educational Needs, Philippa works with the whole team in Tandem to ensure we are placing access for all in its broadest sense, at the core of our approach and is currently developing a best practice access guide for children on the Autistic Spectrum.
