Based at Talacre, in North Wales, SARN was established by David Leigh Evans in 1997.
Prior to this David spent over twenty-years working in main stream education, both as a Primary School Teacher and Headteacher. SARN worked, initially, with a major electricity company to help them develop an education programme that has been used by schools across North Wales and the North West of England.
Since 1997, under David’s management, SARN has worked with corporate clients from the U.K., Germany, U.S.A. and Australia. In addition SARN now supports schools across the U.K. in developing diverse curriculum areas.
