Hi Everyone,

I’m Ellen Goodey. I live in Stratford, East London. I went to my local nursery, primary and secondary schools. Then I studied performing arts at Newham Sixth Form College and the University of East London. I spend some time working as an office assistant, when I am not involved in performing and training.

I was six years old when I started writing my poetry.
My first poem was called Happy Birthday, which I wrote for my mum. And ever since then, I kept up the poetry and have published a few in various magazines.

I developed my poetry-writing skills into song-writing. This has been a great success, and I have written lots and lots of songs, which I have performed in various venues. And now I have made an album of my own songs, which is called Four O’Clock in the Morning.

I have done a lot of training on inclusion and disability  equality for classroom teachers, teachers of dance, social services and other organisations. I use powerpoint presentations and speak to large audiences.

I have just made a video for a confrerence held by the Cabinet Office about people with learning disabilities getting paid jobs, and you can see my video here.

If you want to contact me for performance or training bookings, please email:
