Teriyaki Salmon, Noodle & Vegetable Traybake<br />
Serves 4 Prep time: 5 mins Cooking time: 15 mins<br />
We a l know that eating oily fish is good for you – it’s brain boosting food! Whether it’s the<br />
smell, the flavour, the skin – or is it the bones that can sneak in no matter how careful you<br />
are – many children (mine included) are resistant to eating fish. Trying children with mild<br />
flavoured fish like cod is a good start (breadcrumb it into a goujon if necessary!) bu this was<br />
my salmon breakthrough recipe. Cooked in Teriyaki Sauce and using a beautiful fillet with<br />
no skin and no bones, served with noodles, it went down a treat.<br />
1<br />
2<br />
Lay the salmon on a baking<br />
sheet or in an ovenproof dish.<br />
Mix together the Teriyaki sauce<br />
ingredients and pour it over<br />
the salmon. Marinate if you have<br />
time. If you don’t, fear not!<br />
Add the noodles to the tray and<br />
si the salmon on top. Sprinkle<br />
over the sesame seeds and roast in a<br />
hot oven (220°C, 200°C, gas 7) for 12<br />
mins, 7 mins if using individual fi lets.<br />
Cook the green vegetables<br />
according to your liking. I<br />
simmer the broccoli spears for 2<br />
mins, add the sugar snaps for 1 min<br />
and then the pack choi for 1 min.<br />
Drain the vegetables and toss with<br />
the noodles around the salmon.<br />
Top with the shredded or chopped<br />
spring onions and some of the<br />
chopped chi l if you like extra heat.<br />

Education<br />
We are fortunate to be surrounded by a wealth of<br />
independent schools in the South East. One recurring<br />
feature is ‘Meet The Head’, an interview with a head<br />
teacher offering insight into the opportunities available<br />
at some of the region’s finest educational establishments.<br />
W<br />
hatever anyone tells you about growing your own<br />
vegetables – it’s a lot of hard work, things often<br />
go wrong, pests are everywhere, they’re cheaper<br />
to buy… well, they are right. Some vegetables are hard to<br />
grow (cauliflowers and Brussels sprouts go to the back of the<br />
room and hang your button and curdy heads), there are pesky<br />

June Education<br />
This June we’re publishing an Education Supplement<br />
that will deliver the very latest on the plans, performance<br />
and schooling opportunities in the finest schools across<br />
the South East. Our readers will get to know more about<br />
the teachers who lead them, the subjects and activities<br />
where they excel, and what’s in store for the years ahead.<br />

pests lurking around waiting to picnic in your patch and, if<br />
you added up all the time you spent out there, your precious<br />
harvest might be equable to diamonds. Don’t let any of this<br />
put you off. There are lots of really easy – and delicious crops<br />
to grow too. I promise that it is worth it, but if you are new<br />
to vegetable growing, start with the simpler things and build<br />
from there. Nothing can beat the taste of fresh, homegrown<br />
vegetables, garnished with a little pinch of triumph.<br />
Plotting Ahead<br />
You will need to assess how much space in your garden<br />
that you want to give over to growing vegetables,<br />
where that space will be and how much time you will<br />
realistically have to care for them. Few crops thrive in<br />
the shade, in exposed, windy conditions or poor soil,<br />
so find a sunny, sheltered spot for your edibles.<br />
It is totally possible to grow crops in pots, window boxes,<br />
on balconies and patios, but you will need to take extra care<br />
of them, feeding and watering – quite a lot. In general, most<br />
will prefer to be planted out into enriched garden soil, as<br />
vegetable plants tend to be fairly greedy. Raised beds will<br />

Nothing can beat the taste of fresh,<br />
homegrown vegetables, garnished<br />
with a little pinch of triumph<br />
make the whole process much easier and (in theory) tidier,<br />
but many varieties can be grown in garden borders among<br />
the flowers too. In fact, this is how our domestic gardens<br />
came about in the first place, and a true cottage garden is<br />
supposed to be a joyful jumble of flowers, fruit and vegetables.<br />
The Soil, The Soil, The Soil<br />
I would like to spend the rest of this piece talking about how<br />
important the soil is, how little we know about the complex<br />
relationships between the soil microbiome and the roots of<br />
plants – and how the quality of the soil will dictate not just<br />
the health of the soil, but how healthy and nutritious your<br />
vegetables will be. For now I’ll just say look after your soil.<br />
The best way to improve soil is to add organic matter<br />
in the form of well-rotted manure, spent mushroom<br />
compost, or your own (weed-free) compost. If the soil<br />
in your garden is heavy (clay), you may need to add this<br />
as a mulch in the autumn and let the soil organisms<br />
incorporate it over the winter – and do the digging in for<br />
you. If your soil is light, add the mulch in the spring to<br />

Pippa Goodridge, Sutton Valence School<br />
Meet theHead<br />
We’ve been getting to know Ashford School’s Mr Tiley-Nunn<br />
What did you study at university?<br />
Having known since as long as I can remember<br />
that I wanted to be a primary school teacher, I<br />
studied Primary Education at Canterbury Christ<br />
Church University. My specialisms were PE,<br />
Science and Inclusion.<br />
Tell us a little bit about your career so far...<br />
I started my career at Woodbridge School, in<br />
Suffolk, splitting my time between the classroom<br />
and Games fields, as well as taking on roles<br />
leading ICT and assisting with boarding. I then<br />
moved as part of the founding team to set up<br />
Radnor House in Twickenham, where I was<br />
Assistant Head (Pastoral) and SENCo across both<br />
the Prep and Senior School. Next came a Deputy<br />
Headship at The Old School Henstead back in<br />
Suffolk. In this time, I also acted as a Regional<br />
Lead in Mathematics for a large academy. Then<br />
I took on my first headship at Norwich High<br />
School for Girls, in a period of substantial success<br />
where we were named Girls’ School of the Year<br />
and shortlisted for Prep School of the Year. Since<br />
September 2020, I have been at Ashford Prep<br />
School and I have loved every minute of my three<br />
years here so far.<br />
What makes you proud to head up Ashford Prep?<br />
We have an ethos at Ashford Prep School of<br />
‘Always Be Caring’ and it is when I see our pupils<br />
embodying this ethos on a daily basis that I am<br />
most proud to be part of this amazing school.<br />
We challenge our pupils to not only care for<br />
themselves and others, but also to care deeply<br />
about giving their best to everything that they do.<br />
Can you tell us about a favourite teacher from<br />
your own school days and how they shaped your<br />
experience of school?<br />
My favourite teacher was my physics teacher<br />
who also happened to be my headteacher, Mr.<br />
Cole. He always had time for everyone and you<br />
knew that he truly cared for all of his pupils. I<br />
still have a letter from him congratulating me for<br />
my performance as Scarecrow in ‘The Wizard<br />
of Oz’ aged 10. I went on to work for him at<br />
Woodbridge School and he was just as inspiring<br />
as a boss and is the reason why I wanted to<br />
become a headmaster.<br />
What’s been your most memorable moment in<br />
your role at Ashford Prep so far?<br />
There are so many to choose from, but if I<br />
had to pick one it would be awarding our<br />
first group of Year 6 pupils their Pre-Senior<br />
Baccalaureate awards this year – these were<br />
so special because they represented a huge<br />
amount of work and dedication from our<br />
pupils to become the most rounded young<br />
people that they could possibly become.<br />
What do you do to unwind after a busy week?<br />
With two small children myself, unwinding can<br />
be challenging at times. That being said, I am<br />
at my happiest when outside with my family,<br />
especially on walks with our Cocker Spaniel,<br />
Maisie. Kent has such beautiful countryside and<br />
coastlines to explore. Other than that, I love to<br />
play hockey and cricket, as well as trying to stay<br />
upright on the slopes as an enthusiastic skier.<br />
You’re a published author – what is it about<br />
primary maths that led you to start writing?<br />
Being entirely honest it was my own fear<br />
and disillusionment in the subject as a<br />
pupil that made me want to write ‘How<br />
to Teach Primary Maths’. It is such a vital<br />
subject to get right and I believe that every<br />
pupil should leave primary school with an<br />
enjoyment and confidence in mathematics.<br />
What are you looking forward to next year?<br />
It is difficult to pin it down to one thing but I<br />
would say that I am most looking forward to<br />
our Creative and Performing Arts programme,<br />
which has improved exponentially in the last<br />
year. We have some seriously talented and<br />
creative pupils at our school and seeing<br />
them perform with such confidence and<br />
enthusiasm is always a highlight for me.<br />
Can you tell us your favourite<br />
book, podcast and song?<br />
The book is Humankind by Rutger Bregman,<br />
podcast would be Tailenders and for the song, I’d<br />
chose Islands by The xx.<br />
