Why did you become a governor?
|
Working in higher education for over 30 years has given me a wealth of experience; serving on Committees within a College environment and raising funds to support their strategic aims. I am absolutely passionate about education, and I wanted to use the knowledge I have gained over the years which I believe will be useful as a Governor at Bartholomew School

| Why did you become a governor? |
Previously Head of Trent College (2006 to 2014), a large independent day and boarding school in Nottinghamshire; also Governor of Witham Hall Prep School (2012 to 2104). Our family relocated to Oxfordshire in 2015 to set up our own business. I wanted to become Governor of Bartholomew School as I have a thorough understanding and appreciation of the role of a Governor, in both providing collegiate support and robust challenge for a school, to help determine its ambition. I also have broad experience of the workings of the relevant Sub-Committees, though my experience is all from the context of the Independent Sector; which can have a different dynamic

We moved to Eynsham 10 years ago (2011) just before my eldest son joined the Foundation class at Eynsham Community primary. I was a member of the primary school PTA for the 10 years that my sons were in the school, including a few years as secretary
