Before becoming a teacher in 2004, Tom used his practical skills to work in various jobs in the construction industry. After teaching in a London primary school, then a multi-lingual school in Brussels, he and his family settled on the edge of the Brecon Beacons. He continued to teach in local schools where he was always keen to make sure that the young people in his care were given the opportunity to create purposeful and practical projects that would equip them with important life-skills.
Now, at our farm, Tom helps young people learn new skills in a peaceful, outdoor space. Here he gets to care for animals, grow plants, and explore all the amazing things that happen in nature. It’s a place where we can work together, be kind to each other, and find new strengths. Whether it’s feeding animals, planting seeds, or spotting bugs, every day on the farm is full of discoveries. He’s excited to keep learning right alongside the students and to share this adventure with them! He lives with his wife, children and his very silly dog, Lola. He enjoys mountain biking, walks with his family and cooking.
