I joined the governing body in early September 2020. I have spent my working years in education in the Primary sector, initially as a teacher but also as a subject co-ordinator, deputy head and as a head teacher, but am now retired. I believe that the early years in education are vitally important for all children as it makes a great impact on them throughout their lives and their lifelong learning. It stands them in good stead for their future.

I am currently a governor at another large primary school in Wigan and so can draw on my experiences from there and also from the support of Governor Services.
