Dan Taylor

English Lead

I am Assistant Principal at Yew Tree Primary Academy, with the responsibilities of leading whole school Curriculum, Assessment and English. I am also the Lead KS2 Moderator for Knowsley, as well as being a Literacy Tree Lead Teacher and a member of its advisory panel.

My main areas of interest are inclusive teaching and learning and children's literature. I am passionate about children being able to see themselves in books they read, because I believe representation is powerful. I have always admired the skill authors have to directly impact a reader in a single moment or leave a long-lasting impression. I hope to one day write my own children's book.
