Flexing stops us breaking. Cate is an adoptive mum who's been through tough stuff herself. She's also an educational professional too who helped many adoptive parents pull back from breaking point. Relax and listen in for perspective changes that are going to make you and your family's easier and better.

Cate Tumman has two adopted kids and is an experienced education profession with extensive special educational experience.

I am a previous head teacher of an Therapeutic Independent school which was a project-correction passion to create and develop to its successful current position of having two consecutive Ofsted Good ratings in the six years it has been open.

My educational career has been to focus on making education accessible for those young people that have a barrier to accessing it for any reason. In the most recent years this has been supporting young people who have experienced early life trauma. With a particular focus on being able to have trust in the educational system again and to feel “safe to learn” again.

My values are to ensure that each and every child that crosses my path takes a little glimmer of positivity and belief that “they can” and that to restore a belief that adults can “keep you safe”. 

My passion and values are fuelled by my family, my two beautiful, adopted children and my husband, we travel an amazing journey together as a family and this allows me to understand the challenges that children and family’s experience from all angles and truly empathise.

Then to relax …when there is time…you will find me crafting, knitting, crochet, bead art, baking.
