I have been a foundation governor since late 2023. I have been a governor of schools in the past, but this is the best school I have been involved with. St. John’s is a great school, and I particularly love the Christian ethos and family atmosphere. The children are so polite and lovely, and I have never met more dedicated and hard-working staff, who have such commitment to the children and school. Mrs. Aze is a great head teacher too. I was a secondary school teacher for 14 years teaching mainly Chemistry, Physics and Biology. I also briefly taught Maths, computing, and electronics.
My husband and I ran a hotel for 25 years in the Isle of Wight and came to Weymouth to retire. I love this town and feel honoured to be involved in the education sector again.
