Melanie Harwood
Founder of Harwood Education and an Education Specialist, Melanie has transformed her pain into purpose. When she tried nearly everything on the market to help her daughter, she finally felt compelled to create her own handwriting scheme, Start-Bee. While delivering her Start-Bee Handwriting programme to educators across the UK, she inspired Fiona Cowan to also solve the common problem she saw in her own classrooms…children coming to school not equipped with even the basic skills needed for learning.
