Zoe Macdonald

With over 25 years of professional experience, I bring a unique blend of educational expertise and administrative precision. I have spent the past decade working in education, including roles as a supply teacher and examiner, where I developed deep insight into curriculum delivery, pupil assessment, and inclusive practice. Prior to this, I spent 16 years as an administrative assistant and bookkeeper, honing my skills in data management, financial oversight, and operational coordination. My recent completion of a Master’s in Education has further strengthened my analytical and research capabilities, with a focus on attendance and wellbeing for ALN pupils in Wales. I combine strategic thinking with hands-on efficiency, making me a versatile and reliable contributor across both educational and administrative domains.
 

I hold a BA in English and Film Studies (2006), a PGCE in Secondary English (2020), and recently completed a Master’s in Education (2024), with a research focus on attendance and wellbeing for ALN pupils in Wales. My academic foundation is supported by 3 A-levels and 10 GCSEs, reflecting a long-standing commitment to both analytical and creative disciplines. This progression demonstrates a deepening expertise in pedagogy, policy, and inclusive practice, underpinned by strong communication and critical thinking skills.
