Peter Grimes

Peter Grimes taught for 16 years in Tower Hamlets, East London. During this time he was a primary school teacher, a Special Educational Needs teacher, specialising in disability and an inclusion advisory teacher. Peter has worked internationally in India and Thailand, working with schools who are trying to develop more inclusive practice.
He is currently running a UNESCO inclusion project in London and tutoring on The Open University course E243 Inclusive Education: learning from each other. Peter is based at Canterbury Christ Church University College where he is a senior lecturer in enabling education and an advisor on Kent County Council's Additional Educational Needs Advisory Team.
Much of Peter's work questions how teachers can ensure that they are actively seeking to reduce barriers to student participation. He is particularly interested in examining how the curriculum can be developed in such a way that it responds to students as individuals.
