About the authors

Sue Hunter has been a science teacher in a variety of schools for more years than she cares to remember. Her experiences have included teaching in a choir school and a local authority middle school, teaching GCSE and A level in the Netherlands and a short spell as a full-time mother of two. She was Head of Science at St Hugh’s School in Oxfordshire until her recent retirement and is a member of the Common Entrance setting team. She has run a number of training courses for prep school teachers, including at Malvern College and for the Independent Association of Preparatory Schools (IAPS), and is currently IAPS Subject Leader for science and a member of the Independent Schools Inspectorate. She has also served for a number of years as a governor of local primary schools.

Jenny Macdonald has been a teacher for many years, teaching in both state and private schools. For the last 15 years she has been teaching science at St Hugh’s School in Oxfordshire. She moved to Oxfordshire in the 1970s and has always enjoyed outdoor pursuits, having raised three children and countless chickens, sheep and dogs on the family smallholding. She is chairman of a local choral society, sings in a variety of local choirs, and would like to have more time to relax in the chairs that she enjoys re-upholstering.
