Julie Beams

Senior Lecturer in Education Studies

Julie Beams

I gained Qualified Teacher Status in 1987 and have worked in a number of educational settings since then. I have taught across the whole primary age range.

My main focus, however, has been working with children in the Foundation Stage (0 – 5) in schools, day nurseries and Children's Centres in both a hands-on practitioner and an advisory capacity and in a range of different local authorities in England.

I joined the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ in 2010.
