Claire Pring B.Ed (Hons), M.A., A.S.T.

 

I graduated from Middlesex University in 1990 with a B. Ed (Hons) in Dance.

I taught in London until 1994 when I headed north to join Cheshire Dance as Dance Animateur for Macclesfield.

I was with Cheshire Dance for eight exceptionally happy years & this was where I began to deliver INSET under the guidance of Veronica Lewis & Julia Williams.

Since 2002 I have worked as a freelancer along with part time teaching at...

Buxton Community School, Derbyshire

Poynton High School, Cheshire

Biddulph High School, Staffordshire (where I gained my AST status)

In 2005 I completed my MA in Dance Studies.

Now I'm fully freelance and I regularly work with other organisations, these include One Dance UK, People Dancing, Fabric (previously Dance4), Derby University, Derbyshire County Council, Welsh National Opera, Create & Dance team at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden & I devised and presented the dance content for BBC Teach 'Step by Step' as well as devising some of their podcasts for 'Let's Move' , 'Time to Move' & 'Ten Pieces'.

I have also produced resources for Oak National Academy, Birmingham Royal Ballet, Cheshire County Council & Derbyshire County Council. Currently I'm working with PE Scholar and Complete PE to provide the dance input in the upcoming Oak Academy resource offer for mainstream schools.

I'm an ArtsMark Partner  the Arts Council of England and have previous advised schools on their ArtsMark documentation.

 

Like most people there's more... but I think those are the important bits... I can send you my full CV if you'd like to see!

 

And... of course... I have a full driving licence & an enhanced DBS.
