I became a parent Governor at the end of 2022 as I hoped I could add some value to the Governors team, and the school in their aims to continually improve the school and outcomes for the students. I have twins in year 2, and have really enjoyed my start to the role. I am currently an Assistant Headteacher at a school for secondary aged students with social, emotional and mental health issues in Sandwell, and hope to bring some of my experience and knowledge to the table to support Mrs. Higgins and her team. 

Outside of school I love football and have been a referee for 25 years, currently acting as an Assistant Referee on the EFL. I enjoy most sports, eating out and generally trying my best to occasionally be in charge in my household!!!

I have been the Headteacher of NWPS since September 2015, and I am very fortunate to have a Governing Body that is so committed to the continual improvement of our school. Doing the best for pupils is at the heart of all decision-making, and we work hard together to ensure we provide the best education for all children.

Therefore, as part of the Governing Body, I provide relevant information, am held to account for actions taken and work with them to effectively self-evaluate our school and consider the impact of the actions that are taken.

I have been a parent governor since July 2016, and sit on two committees (Finance and Staffing and Safeguarding and SEND).  I am also the nominated Safeguarding Governor. I have one son who attends the school. I work for Worcestershire County Council on various data collections within education including the statutory School Census, which is the main data source by which schools are funded by the Department for Education. As a governor, I want to bring my working knowledge and experience to the direct benefit of the school. I care deeply that pupils at Nunnery Wood Primary receive a high quality education that enables them all to reach their full potential, and that they receive the best possible experiences from their time at the school.  

I have been a parent governor since December 2020 and have been Chair since September 2022, I am also a member of the Finance and Staffing committee.  I have two daughters at the school who really enjoy going.  I come from a commercial finance background, and will endeavour to use my skills and experience to help the school to strive to provide the best quality education and care possible.  Coupled with assisting and supporting the Head Teacher and staff to provide the pupils with a constant improving environment, which enables them to fulfil their potential and gain the best experiences possible of school life.  My utmost goal is to help everyone create a fun, enjoyable, safe environment, where the children enjoy coming to school.
