Daniel Powell: Head of Outreach & Communications
Originally from Swansea, Daniel studied Geography at Jesus College, Oxford before returning to South Wales to complete his PGCE.
He then spent a decade working as a Geography teacher in three very different state-schools in South Wales and West Oxfordshire. During this time, he held a variety of whole-school responsibilities and was a form-tutor at all key-stages.
Daniel has worked at New College since 2016 and coordinates and manages the College's outreach work and communications output.
If you are a state-school teacher and have any queries relating to how New College can help your school, then Daniel will always be pleased to hear from you via email at outreach@new.ox.ac.uk
