Over the past 20 years I have had a long history of governance in local primary schools. Since joining the Governing Body at William Barcroft, I have further developed my skills. I am now Vice Chair working closely with the Chair of Governors to scrutinise, challenge and support. I truly believe William Barcroft school is an exceptional place where children are allowed to flourish and achieve their dreams. I have been married for 34 years and have on adult son. I am Safeguarding Manager for a local primary school and have been fortunate enough to work alongside some of the staff who are now at Barcroft. The team at William Barcroft have always made me feel very welcome and I look forward to developing my relationship with the school further.

I am a loyal and caring person who has a genuine interest in making a difference to the lives of young children. My great life experiences and varied work commitments mean I am able to relate to a wide range of people.  My strengths are that I am eager to learn, enjoy overcoming challenges and possess excellent communication skills. I consider myself good humoured and can work well under pressure.

As Headteacher I have sat on the Governing Body of the school since 2009. I very much enjoy the challenge and support offered by our diverse team of governors who are ambitious and forward thinking. I have constantly sought to improve the quality of information that the governors receive to enable them to understand the day to day running of the school and to make strategic decisions. I enjoy governance and have in the past sat on other school governing bodies and was for a long time a member of the Music Hub governance. It is my hope that by improving the governing body through quality CPD, clear information and opportunities to get to know the team we continue to grow in strength.

I am completely new to education on a professional level, having been in retail employment for the last around 25 years. Solely being employed by the Ramsden group I have developed from Sales, Flooring Estimator to Flooring Manager. After a successful three years, I now also oversee our Soft furnishings department. I married in 2007 and in 2010 our daughter was born who now attends William Barcroft. Since my introduction to William Barcroft School two years ago, I have to say that I thought the school emulates a tangible warmth and integrity towards Pupil development. I hope I can bring new perspectives in my role as parent governor- a role which I am proud to undertake.
