Chair of Governors

“I have been on the Governing Board since 2016 as a co-opted governor serving on the Finance and HR, Curriculum committees, overseeing Pupil Premium, Sports Premium, Wellbeing, Performance Management and Gemstones governor.

I have been in education nearly all my life either as a pupil, student, teacher or school counsellor, during that time I was a parent governor and a teacher governor.

I am Chair of Governors and along with fellow governors we support and challenge our school leaders to make certain we have high standards of achievement for all of our young people, ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction.

I have always enjoyed working with children and now I am retired feel my experience is valuable as a governor. I enjoy making school visits and meeting the children and staff, gaining first-hand experience of the school at work.

Out of school I enjoy photography, gardening, travelling, cinema/theatre, going to the gym/walking, reading and spending time with the family.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.”
