“I’m Kate Brennan, founder of Act the Facts, I write tailor-made scripts on any subject, for any purpose, for any age group, so if you’re looking for a new way to teach Literacy at Key Stage 2, to explain genetic engineering at Key Stage 4, or historical interpretations of Hitler’s Rise to Power at A Level, you’ve come to the right place.”

“I am currently Head of Science at Scalby School in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. My teaching specialisms are Chemistry and Physics. This is an important project because offshore wind will be a significant part of the UK energy resources in the next 30 years. Investing and preparing for this now will give Humberside and North Yorkshire a boost with the Skills and infrastructure needed for the 21st Century.”

I am also a qualified ECDL and Oracle Internet Academy instructor; I enjoy playing with new technology to enhance not just learning but also sport. I was a keen runner and triathlete in my younger years, now I watch my children compete – it’s a lot easier!”

“I wanted to develop a career/enterprise package to enable students to see what skills and qualities are expected of them and how they can go about applying those into a real life context. It will also be tailored to meet specific Business Studies syllabus topics to enable a real case study to be applied to their studies.
