Hannah Croskery

Introduction to Hannah

Lakes Education Ltd was founded by Hannah Croskery, a former Deputy Headteacher, Apple Learning Coach and DfE EdTech Demonstrator with over 30 years of experience in education.

Hannah led the first Apple Distinguished School and Apple Regional Training Centre in Cumbria and now, having worked across primary education, school leadership, professional development and national education initiatives, Hannah is passionate about helping schools create meaningful and sustainable improvement.



Pedagogy first. Technology second. Impact always. This philosophy underpins every aspect of Hannah's work. Effective teaching and learning should always drive decision-making in schools.
