Bio
Noel Moules
I think that Mike is a very special person with a huge concern for people, community and the wider world of nature. He is a great example and inspiration for those in the Pagan community and for those of us in the wider Interfaith networks. Mike's humour and compassion make him astonishingly personable and he brings great energy to whatever project that he turns his hand and heart to. He has integrity and sensitivity in abundance, but also wisdom and organisational skills. He also has an astonishing generosity of spirit. It is an honour to know him and always a joy to work with him.

Sep 1991 - Mar 2016
In charge of Drama teaching until 2007. I had also been running drama support lessons for English as an Additional Language students and in 2007 I began teaching EAL students full time. In 2012, I was approached by leadership to begin working with students who had emotional,social and behavioural difficulties as it had been observed that I was particularly good at reaching and supporting students with those challenges. In addition, I was invited to take on some Religious Education classes as my activities outside school were seen to lend themselves to RE teaching. In March 2016, finding myself with available funds, I left the school to explore the possibility of combining two passions, Interfaith and Education in a business venture.
