I have lived in Marston St Lawrence and Greatworth for the last 25 years and I have been a Parent
Governor since November 2015. I currently have a son in Year 4 and a daughter in Year 6 and an
older daughter who is now in Year 8 at Stratford Girls Grammar School. Professionally I have a commercial and business development background and work for a large
Environmental Services business in the water sector.
I am currently Chair of Governors and also sit
on the Finance and Premises Committee where hopefully my commercial knowledge can support
and add value to the school.
I was a Headteacher for nearly 30 years and my last School was an Outstanding Academy for over 500 Primary pupils. I also spent three years as a member of the Headteacher Board at the Department of Education advising the Regional Schools Commissioner for the North West London and South Central Region on Academy and Free School matters. I joined the Governing Body of Greatworth to share my knowledge of education and to assist in providing a learning environment that gives the children a successful, positive and happy experience of School.
I joined the Governing Body in January 2017. I have worked in Early Years Education for 14 years and currently run my own baby and toddler group as well as working part time as a Higher Level Teaching Assistant in a local school. As my knowledge and background is within the Early Years curriculum I sit on the Quality and Standards sub committee and have the responsibility of EYFS, maths and safeguarding.I very much enjoy being a part of the governors at Greatworth as we have a great team and the school is a very happy place to be.
