Relationship between governor and school: two children present

I have recently begun my second term as a school governor at St. Mary’s and very much enjoy being part of such a vibrant and happy community. I have two children at the school and am honored to be able to support them and their peers in ensuring the school delivers the excellent education that all children deserve. I teach Maths at Clapton Girls’ Academy so have a good understanding of the journey through education that we are preparing our children for. Prior to becoming a teacher, I worked in marketing, so have experience of financial planning and management and extensive recruitment experience, which have proved to be useful skills in my role as chair of governor.

I have been involved in the life of St Marys school since moving to London in 2013. As rector of the parish I am keen to see the links between the school, the church and the local community deepen. I am especially interested in helping the school to embed its values and develop its unique sense of spirituality.

I am a Foundation Governor, appointed by the Parochial Church Council at St Mary’s. By profession, I am a solicitor specialising in employment and data privacy law, giving me skills in analysis and advocacy which are useful as a school governor. My two eldest daughters attend St Mary’s, meaning I have an added interest in the success of the school and the quality of the education provided to all pupils! As a regular worshiper at St Mary’s, I am mindful of the school’s ethos in the approach I take to my role as governor.
