His previous project manager roles for CRIPSAT include the Key Stage 2 Optional Assessment Materials for Science (published by DELLS in 2006), the KS2 Optional Science tests for Wales (2006) and the KS2 Science tests for Wales 2003-2005.

He was a member of the CRIPSAT team that developed the 2001 KS 1-3 Optional Assessment Materials for Wales and the KS2 Science tests for England and Wales from 1995-1998.

Dewi’s previous posts include lecturing in primary science and education for an establishment providing ITT (Initial Teacher Training); an advisory-teacher role for an LEA and primary school headships.
