About Me

Richard Spencer: Born in York in 1979, I grew up in Chesterfield and the Peak District. I was educated at comprehensive schools in Derbyshire before enjoying three glorious years in Hull studying drama and raising modest amounts of hell. Two miserable years in London led to a reassessment and a move to Cambridge to follow a career in teaching. From 2003-2010 I was the eastern region coordinator for NATE, and I have written extensively for Cambridge University Press and their School Shakespeare range. I've taught in schools across Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire, spent a fascinating year working for OFSTED, and am now proud to be part of the brilliant CMAT trust as principal of the Ely College. Most importantly, I'm a husband and father to Kyle, Jocelyn and Lexi.
