Thank you for taking the time to explore Creative Roots Education.
I founded Creative Roots in 2024 to support home-educating families with guidance, inspiration, and resources that put childrenās interests at the heart of learning.
Iām Kelly Lea, an ex-primary school teacher with over 20 years of experience across the full primary age range. Throughout my career, Iāve always had a passion for teaching creatively ā making learning meaningful, engaging, and rooted in curiosity.
In my last role as Assistant Head at a small primary school, I had the unique opportunity to teach mixed-age classes. This taught me how to design lessons and resources that worked for a wide variety of ages and abilities. The school also welcomed children with hybrid learning experiences ā those who had been fully home educated or who had stepped away from mainstream schooling but wanted some time back in a classroom. Supporting these children was a privilege, and it deepened my understanding of how home education and school-based learning can complement one another.
Since leaving the classroom, Iāve dedicated my time to thinking about how I can work directly with families who choose a home-education approach. Through Creative Roots, I want to share my experience, creativity, and passion to help parents feel supported and children feel inspired.
