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 (later known as Bath Spa University) 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.
