Trust Governor

I grew up in Hertfordshire but I have lived in several areas of the country before settling down in Surrey with my husband seventeen years ago. I worked for a major high street bank for twenty eight years where I held a variety of leadership and management roles. I have two children who are now in years 11 and 10 at Tomlinscote. Whilst at Ravenscote, I really appreciated the wide range of opportunities they were offered. I was a very active member of the PTA and a parent helper at my children’s schools. When the children were young I took a career break before returning to work locally. I passed my bookkeeping and certificate accounting exams and I became an accredited clerk to the governors for a Hampshire school before taking up the position of Borough Administrator at Surrey County Council Youth Services and then later as a school bursar. I am currently studying for my CIPD (Personnel) qualification and on the local CIPD committee.

I am the Chair of Governors, Chair of the Buildings and Finance committee and sit on the Personnel committee at Ravenscote Junior school. I am very passionate about education and I firmly believe that every child has the right to achieve their potential and that their school has the duty to facilitate that process. I am delighted to be able to work with a successful and committed team of staff and governors at this outstanding school. I was pleased to be asked to be a governor at South Camberley and I am looking forward to working with the governing body and school.
