Peter Cornwell in an earlier life was the Headteacher of a small village Primary school, having been appointed at the tender age of twenty seven. During this time, he developed a great interest in writing stories and poetry, historical re-creation and storytelling. In 1996 he dreamed up the idea of History Off the Page and now heads up a team of twenty five wonderful people. As well as three days a week on the road, he still writes stories and poems for use in school. Most of the rest of the time is spent in creative management.

Having been privileged to visit well over a thousand schools in the last twelve years, Peter has experienced an enormous range of educational styles and methods. He uses this background in his courses together with a long term and deeply held belief that the education of children should be as practical and experiential as possible.

Quote from Peter at the opening of Off Centre: “A good school is one which is sure of its purposes.” (R.S. Peters)
