Sally Burt has been a teacher both in England and in South Africa where she and her family lived for 25 years. Now living in England again, Sally is a governor at a local primary school. In South Africa, she set up a communications business, focusing on writing strategies and processes, training writers in a range of contexts, editing and lecturing in Professional Communication at the University of Cape Town. She has remained in touch with her love of teaching children by writing a range of English textbooks and study guides, largely for KS2, with her long-standing writing partner, Debbie Ridgard, who lives in Johannesburg. Sally has written for different English curricula around the world bringing her love of language and all the doors it opens for children to each new project.
