Lauren Meadows has dedicated her life to improving educational outcomes for children across the sector. Driven by her servitude to children and the belief that it is possible for every child to receive an excellent education, she has worked with Primary, Secondary, Special and Alternative Provision settings across the country. Rooted in research and development, her ambition is to synthesise all that we know about what works in education and distil this into tangible classroom practice.

Lauren has worked with a wide range of national organisations, advising on curriculum and assessment design and strategic school improvement, including partnering with Alex Bedford to co-author the internationally acclaimed Curriculum with Unity Schools Partnership (CUSP). Her career has been inspired by many great thinkers and mentors, whose unerring patience she will be eternally grateful for (yes, Darren and Dave, I mean you).

Lauren can usually be found in the woods or on the beach and is a very proud mum to Molly and Flo, both wise and kind far beyond their years.
