About me...

I went to Jesmond Road Primary School in Hartlepool where I learnt a love of stories and of writing. I was then off to High Tunstall Comprehensive School where I found firm friends for life.

After that, it was Hartlepool Sixth Form College, which I totally loved. My university was in London. I went to the Roehampton Institute of the University of Surrey in 1992 and trained to be a teacher. My degree was in Philosophy and a four-year teaching course. I loved University! I met crazy people, saw amazing places, did fun things; all fuel for stories that would be written later. I worked as a student teacher in Waterloo, Brixton, Thornton Heath and Putney. All great places with inspirational teachers to guide me. My final teaching practise was at Granard School on the Ashburton Estate in Putney. That school took me on as a Newly Qualified Teacher and I had a fabulous three years there, teaching in Key Stage 2.

Don't just take my word for it...

“Adam had our Year 1 and 2 children on the very edges of their seats from the very beginning. I cannot come close to articulating how important Adam’s experience with us has meant to the children. This magnificently interactive and creative experience, with its layers of sparkle dust, was a huge boost for the children – and the teaching team too!

Adam was truly exceptional. He really knows his craft and how young children learn best.”

“We love working with Adam, he is inspirational.

The children’s best writing is, without a doubt, the piece they write with him.”

Nicola Pallister – Head Teacher,

St John’s CE Primary School

Teacher, Ms. Donacien, added, “Adam Bushnell’s author workshop was truly amazing! His engaging presentation captivated both students and teachers alike, making it one of the most enthralling literary workshops we’ve ever had. The children were utterly entranced. It was a wonderful experience having Adam at our school. The children can’t wait for him to visit again!”

Ms. Donacien - Teacher

Seth said, “Adam is inspiring because he uses his creativity to help us create stories which make all types of people happy.”

Seth - Primary School Pupil

Primary school pupil, Victor, described Adam’s workshop like this; “To use a simile to describe the visit, it was like a good book. I was able to soak up information without having to work too hard.”
