I have worked in Financial Services for 25 years and having joined the Board of Governors in 2014, am keen to share my skills and knowledge with the school, firstly in recognition and thanks for all the support, care and encouragement to succeed that was shown to my son over the last 7 years and secondly, to ensure that all children who attend the school have the best opportunity and environment in which to reach their true potential.
