Since qualifying as a teacher in 1996, Wendy has taught Modern Foreign Languages. She has taught in a variety of different schools and phases children and students aged 4-18. From 2002 to 2004 she trained new MFL teachers at Leeds University and went on to run the CILT graduate teacher MFL programme in the north of England. Even as her career progressed to become Principal at Bradford Forster Academy and later Executive Principal at Trinity Academy, Doncaster, Wendy made time to actively teach MFL.

Most recently in 2022, Wendy co-authored a book on teaching primary languages with Juliet Park, Tried & Tested: The Ultimate Guide to Teaching Primary Languages which of course includes a chapter on the effective teaching of phonics.
