(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Sybil Marshall was a British writer, novelist, social historian, broadcaster, folklorist and educationalist. Biography Born as Sybil Mary Edwards in Ramsey Heights, the daughter of a smallholder on the Fens who had left school at the age of nine, she was educated at Ramsey Heights Elementary School and Ramsey Grammar School in Cambridgeshire . Marshall was not able to attend university because no scholarship was available so she started work in 1933 as an untrained teacher, first in Essex and then in Huntingdon. As an unqualified teacher at Kingston Primary School in Cambridgeshire from 1942 to 1948 she worked on her own in one room containing 26 pupils aged between 4 and 11. Here Marshall developed teaching methods based on integrating subjects and encouraging children's creativity. Later written up as An Experiment in Education, her methods influenced the 1967 Plowden Report into primary education in Britain. She attended Exhall Grange Emergency Training College in Coventry from 1948 to 1949, before going to Kingston County School in Cambridgeshire as Headteacher.
