About Kate
Kate is a senior editor and education consultant at The Good Schools Guide, where she has worked for over a decade. During this time, she has visited over 200 state and independent schools across England, including schools that specialise in SEN. Kate is also in charge of our 50+ tutor agency reviews and of online schools, and holds specialist knowledge of these ever growing areas of education. In her consultancy role, Kate is therefore able to advise on mainstream, SEN and online schooling (including for home schoolers), as well as tutoring – right across the country.
After gaining a first class degree in communications studies and distinction in an MA in journalism from Goldsmith’s, University of London, she worked as a university lecturer, as well as a broadsheet journalist and editor, specialising in education – which is what brought her to The Guide. ‘I absolutely love visiting schools - really getting under the skin of what makes them tick – and then using that information to help find the right match for individual children within my consultancy role.’ Kate recently relocated from the south east to Worcestershire with her husband and two children, who are both in senior school.
