Noughtcross Haus introduces Sarah (left), co-founder of Noughtcross Haus.
Hi, my name is Sarah. I am bilingual, with a German and French heritage, and have now lived in England longer than I have in either France or Germany. Three years ago, my husband and our two children (4 and 7 years old) made the move to Sheffield, seeking a more balanced life, close to the Peak District.
I originally trained as a Theatre Designer and after working in the costume department for 10 years and wanting a family, I retrained as a Montessori educator. Since then, I have also trained as a Forest school Leader and am continuously curious about different educational approaches from across the world. When my son started Reception, I soon realised that a traditional education was not the best route I wished for either of my children. I’m hoping that with Noughtcross Haus we can give them and other children, the opportunity to have a real say in their learning, based on their interest and strengths and natural curiosity, without comparison to one another. And with plenty of opportunity to be outside and physical and connected to nature. I believe that we continuously learn if we allow ourselves to be curious and open to new ideas and I am very excited to go on this journey with them and everyone else who will be part of this beautiful community.
