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.

Category: Foundation Governor Appointed by: PCC of St Mary’s Church, N16

End of Term of Office: tbc

Declared interests: None

Relationship between governor and school: Two children present

I have two children currently at the school, with the eldest now in year 6 having joined in nursery, and close links with St Mary’s Church where I currently act as vice chair of the Parish Church Council. I have really appreciated the underlying values and ethos the school instills in the children, and the sense of community it engenders, and want to help ensure that the links between the school and the church and those values are maintained and further embedded into the fabric of the school. I work as a solicitor and am looking to utilise that experience/skill set in my role as school governor.
