I began my teaching career at Dean Bank Primary and Nursery School in September 2020. Since then, I have progressively taken on more responsibilities. I currently share leadership of English, as well as serving as the subject leader for Religious Education and French. I am passionate about fostering a love of reading and am currently leading the school through ‘The Open University Reading for Pleasure’ programme. In 2024, I completed the NPQ in Leading Teaching to further enhance my leadership skills.

I chose to become a teacher governor at Dean Bank because I am committed to supporting the school’s development. As a teacher, I have a firsthand understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the classroom, and I wanted to contribute my insights to the strategic decision-making processes that shapes the school’s direction. Being a governor allows me to advocate for the needs of both students and staff, ensuring that our school provides the best possible learning environment. Ultimately, I see my role as a governor as an opportunity to make a positive impact beyond the classroom.
