Jan Forshaw MBE

I am the Head of Education for Coram Life Education. I'm responsible for managing and developing the education services we provide, including their content, strategic direction and evaluation.

I oversee SCARF and its effectiveness in embedding a whole-school approach to children's physical and emotional wellbeing. I look after the systems and processes that ensure the ongoing efficacy and relevance of the services we offer to schools. My earlier career was as a teacher in middle and primary schools, including senior leadership roles.

I have a volunteering role that fulfils many of the 5 ways to wellbeing, enabling me to connect with others in an inspiring outdoor space that provides physical and mental challenges; I feel fortunate to have this as a way of finding balance.
