Before being co-opted onto the Governing Body in May 2017, I supported Sutton-on-Trent Primary School as a Partnership Head Teacher for 4 terms. I then became the Executive Head Teacher at Coddington C of E VC Primary School and Christ Church C of E VA Infant School, serving on both governing bodies. I have previously been an LA governor at Jeffries Primary School in Kirkby in Ashfield and have served as a governor at all the schools I have been employed at.

I left full-time headship in 2018 after 15 years in the Newark and Mansfield areas, where I also worked as an Associate Education Improvement Advisor for Nottinghamshire County Council. I am now an Education Locality Lead in Lincolnshire.

I enjoy supporting the whole school community, but especially enjoy ensuring that all children receive the
best possible experience at school. I appreciate the commitment that all stakeholders make towards this aim and believe in a child-centred, positive team approach to tackling the challenges faced.
