Natasha Nechat-Murphy is a dedicated and experienced primary educator with a First Class Honours degree in Primary Education Studies. Her career has taken her through various roles—from nursery nurse to SEN support assistant, teaching assistant, and now, primary tutor. She has contributed to published books and online magazines, sharing her insights with educators and parents alike. 

Drawing on her unique blend of classroom experience, research-driven insights, and a deep commitment to empowering young artists she crafts art curricula to inspire creativity and nurture a lifelong love of the arts.

Her dissertation 'An investigation into the attitudes and practices that shape children’s art and design experiences in the early years classroom', focusses on why art should begin in the early years, and asks whether an increase in age means a decrease in art interest.

Hywel Roberts has taught in secondary, primary and special settings for almost 30 years. He shows others how to bring learning to life for all children and young people. In particular, he has drawn on and adapted the work of Dorothy Heathcote, with whom he studied, and her powerful Mantle of the Expert approach to learner engagement.

He contributes to university education programmes and writes regularly for TES as the 'travelling teacher'. Hywel deals in botheredness, creative practice, curriculum development and imagineering. Hywel is a much sought-after educational speaker, an Independent Thinking Associate contributing to events worldwide. 

Publications include:

·       'Oops! Getting Children to Learn Accidentally' Crown House Publishing

·       'Uncharted Territories' is written with Dr Debra Kidd and was published in 2018 by Independent Thinking Press as was 

·       'Botheredness' in 2023 to much acclaim which elevated him to one of the most in-demand speakers on the circuit. 

Take a look at his website: www.botheredness.co.uk

At a time when people are believing that discipline and ‘no excuses’ are what is needed to keep a difficult class on task, Hywel shows that creativity, humour, imagination and what he calls ‘botheredness’ might be a far better set of professional skills to bring to any classroom.
