I moved to Coventry in 1991 when I joined the University of Warwick and on retirement decided to settle here. I have been a governor at Stanton Bridge Primary School since 2000. In 2005 I became Vice Chair and in 2018 I was elected Chair of Governors.  My background is in international primary school education and cultural relations and during my earlier career with the British Council I worked in a number of other countries as a teacher and teacher trainer.  I have a special interest in the curriculum and as such chair the School Improvement Committee and act as English and Literacy Governor.  As Chair, I also monitor the school’s Child Protection activities.
