    Background

Corderoy grew up in Sandfields, Port Talbot in South Wales.
When Corderoy was eighteen she moved to Bath to study at Bath College of Higher Education to be a primary school teacher, graduating in 1987.
After teaching positions in Swindon and Cirencester, she left the teaching profession to start a family.
Several years later, Corderoy started working with children in primary schools; where she implemented literacy programmes and re-integrated children returning to school following periods of long-term illness. It was during this time that she became passionate about writing for children – convinced that language, expressed through wonderful literature, is the key that stimulates learning and imagination.
