About us

  • Achievement

    We help children develop their true creative talents at Flying Colours! Our educational art classes support and encourage young children to achieve their very best by focusing on creativity, critical thinking, focus and collaboration.

  • Fun

    We offer many fun and exciting opportunities to develop children's understanding of key areas of the curriculum through art. We work to guide, support and encourage children to work creatively and collaboratively with their peers.

  • Local

    Art classes are conveniently held at Winchester area primary schools and at private homes in the  Winchester area. 

At Flying Colours Education all our sessions are led by experienced, qualified, DBS checked primary school teachers. We work with the Early Years Foundation Stage and the English Primary National Curriculum objectives. We work with parents and children to develop key skills to help children progress in their learning across all areas: critical thinking, problem solving, reasoning, fine motor skills, oracy and visual literacy. We forge trusting relationships with children to ensure their individual  learning needs are met. Our experienced teachers deliver high quality learning opportunities for each and every child.

I have always believed that fostering a love of learning is the most important building block that you can give a child. Having completed a degree in English and History, a PGCE and a MA in Education, my passion for learning led me to teach in an outstanding primary school in Winchester for many years. During this time, I have led many areas of the curriculum such as art, geography, history and RE. I have worked specifically with Key Stage 1, guiding the children through their SATs tests and Phonic Assessments and know that children are under ever increasing pressure during their education. My personalised teaching style ensures that children feel safe and confident while giving them opportunities to develop their understanding in each area. I am also a certified paediatric first aider.

I believe creativity and enjoyment are the key to sparking a love of learning in children and am excited to be offering a range of classes at Flying Colours that does just that! I am a primary school teacher with experience in KS1 and lower KS2 at an outstanding Winchester school and have particular experience in leading art in primary schools. I have a BA (Hons) in Art History and German, a CELTA certificate and a PGCE in primary education with broad experience across different ages and in a variety of different countries. Additionally, I am a qualified paediatric first aider. I firmly believe children are individuals with unique talents and strengths who should be celebrated and supported in developing to their full potential.
