Being Chair of Governors of St John’s Primary School is a huge privilege and one I have enjoyed since we joined DSAT. I have a passion for education and believe that it is the right of every person to receive the best possible opportunities to learn throughout their lives. Building on that, I also firmly believe that an education rooted in faith and Christian values ensures that children are able to develop as well rounded individuals with solid foundations supporting them throughout their lives.
In my professional life I have been a teacher, an Inclusion Manager, a local authority Education Adviser and ran my own education consultancy providing training and working with schools across the West Country. I gave up my business when asked to become Interim Headteacher at a failing school and moved from there to the same role in another failing school.
I am a regular worshipper at a local church and also help to lead services for a growing congregation of young families.
