Staff Governor

Foundation Governor 

I work as a Business Systems Project manager for an Aviation Software company and have worked within the Aviation industry for over 25 years.
I have lived and worshipped within the Parish of Ifield since birth, and was fortunate to attend St. Margaret's School as a child (many, many years ago) and now both my Son's attend ths school.  
I am passionate about seeing St. Margaret’s School progress into the future.

Foundation Governor

I have worked at St Margaret's School for many, many  years and retired this summer. Most of my time here was spent working with our youngest children and those with Special Educational Needs.My three children attended this school and now one of my grandchildren has also joined. This school holds a very special place in my heart.

 I live in Ifield and attend St Margaret's Church. I enjoy the unique countryside that surrounds Ifield and I love reading. I have a particular passion and expertise in Early Years, children's literature and learning to read, which I hope I can continue to use to support this lovely school.
