Eleanor Ward

Since joining EdComs in 2000, Eleanor has managed projects for clients in a variety of media. These have included:

  • An NSPCC project giving 11–16s an opportunity to speak out on the issue of support services for young people
  • an education programme for the Royal Air Force, with an interactive CD-ROM, website and workshop tour exploring Science and Maths through the context of real-life RAF jobs.

The RAF programme was a winner of a Hollis Sponsorship Award for Education.

A current project is the RBS group's MoneySense for Schools programme. This helps young people to develop their money-management skills and be prepared for independent living. The project received an E-Learning award and a BITC Big Tick, and was 'highly commended' at the IVCA Clarion Awards.

Eleanor graduated from the University of East Anglia in 1997 with a degree in History. She went on to spend two years working as an assessment coordinator for Edexcel.

Eleanor is a keen footballer. She also takes part in a Reading Partners scheme, volunteering at a primary school.
