I began my teaching career 30 years ago in the London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames before being appointed as Deputy Headteacher at St George's College Junior School. I then moved on to be Deputy Headteacher at Cardinal Newman Catholic Primary in Hersham where I worked very closely alongside the Headteacher in the strategic leadership and management of the school. My appointment as Headteacher of Holy Family is a huge privilege and I feel exceptionally fortunate to work alongside such a talented and dedicated team of people. My role within the governing body is to ensure that all members feel empowered and enabled to make a strategic, positive impact to the leadership and management of the school. By leading the teaching & support staff, I am also responsible for ensuring that the common vision of the governors leads ultimately to the highest possible learning experiences and outcomes for all children. As Headteacher, I sit on all governor sub-committees which keeps me nice and busy!
