I am proud to serve as Chair of Governors at Biggin Hill Primary School and have been a school governor for almost nine years. I am deeply committed to ensuring every child benefits from a respectful, inclusive and high-quality education that supports both learning and personal development.

The Governing Body acts as a critical friend to school leaders, providing support and constructive challenge across education, safeguarding and community engagement. I strongly value the role of parents and carers and believe that an engaged, trusting and supportive school community has a positive impact on children’s experience and outcomes.

Professionally, I bring over 20 years’ experience across the construction and architecture industries, alongside a background in design and business management. More recently, I have worked in education and charity settings, managing professional mentorship programmes and specialist courses, with responsibilities including communications, marketing, events and stakeholder engagement. I am currently starting a role as Communications Manager for an award-winning autism charity, where inclusive communication, impact evaluation and meaningful community connection are central to the organisation’s mission.

I am enduringly curious, and I believe this mindset supports my work as a governor and my connection with the children we champion. I relish learning from people and situations, questioning my own opinions and actively seeking balance and counter-views. Never forgetting what it feels like to find wonder in the world feels important to me. I am confident but not complacent in my approach. As a parent of two children now in secondary education, I remain committed to supporting Biggin Hill Primary School in nurturing confident, kind and curious learners, enabling every child to flourish both academically and personally.

I am proud to hold the position of  Vice-Chair of Governors after already serving five years as a governor at the school. 

I have lived in Biggin Hill for over 20 years and am a proud mother of three children, two of whom attended BHPS and one who joined the school in 2022. Over the years I have enjoyed volunteering at the school, supporting pupils with reading and maths, which has strengthened my passion for education and the important role schools play within the community.

I strongly believe that our school should provide a safe, engaging and inclusive environment where every child can learn, develop and grow. It is vital that children are supported not only to reach their full academic potential, but also to develop the confidence, resilience and emotional wellbeing that will support them throughout their lives.

Professionally, I have over 17 years’ experience working in the corporate sector in London, where I contributed to strategic decision-making across a broad range of disciplines. This experience has given me valuable insight into governance, leadership and effective organisational practices.

Alongside this, I co-care for my brother who has severe learning disabilities. This has deepened my understanding of the importance of patience, inclusion and compassion, particularly within group and educational settings.

I also have a strong appreciation for nature and actively advocate for mental health awareness across all ages. 

As Vice-Chair of Governors, I am committed to using my professional experience, community connection and personal perspective to support the governing body in strengthening processes, ensuring effective oversight, and helping to shape a positive and ambitious future for our school.

I have recently joined Biggin Hill Primary School’s governing board as a Parent Governor. Both in KS1, my two daughters have just started their school journey, and I am excited about the prospect of bringing the parent perspective to Governors’ discussions. 

I have a passion for children’s learning in Education, ensuring that all children have access to a broad and holistic curriculum. This is reflected in my experience and training, firstly as a Secondary School Dance teacher, and then as the PGCE Dance Subject Tutor and Lead Mentor for student teachers at the University of Roehampton. 

I am committed to upholding the school’s ethos and am proud to be a part of the team. 

I am proud to be a staff Governor at Biggin Hill School because I care deeply about our school and want to contribute to its continued improvement.

I bring a practical, day-to-day understanding of school life to discussions and decision-making. This perspective helps ensure that Governors’ decisions are informed by classroom experience and staff wellbeing, supporting policies that are realistic, effective, and focused on achieving the best outcomes for all our children.

I am proud to serve as a Governor at Biggin Hill Primary School and to support the school’s commitment to providing a caring, inclusive and high-quality education for every child.

Professionally, I work in a leadership role within a large consultancy, delivering projects that help charities and community organisations improve how they support the people they serve. This involves working closely with teams, planning for the future, and ensuring strong governance and accountability.

I am passionate about creating equal opportunities for children to thrive, and I strongly value the partnership between schools, families and the wider community. I am committed to supporting and constructively challenging the school as it continues to grow and succeed.

I recently joined the Board of Governors at Biggin Hill Primary School as a co-opted Governor. Although I am new to the Governor role, I have 15 years’ experience as a primary school teacher working across several London boroughs. Most recently, I was Reading Leader at a school in Orpington, where I oversaw the phonics program and helped to foster a love of reading across the school. I am passionate about education and committed to ensuring that every child has a strong and positive start to their learning journey.

I am currently on a career break, spending time at home with my two children, one of whom attends another school in the Inicio Trust. I am delighted to have the opportunity to bring my professional knowledge and experience to this role and I am fully committed to supporting the values and ethos of Biggin Hill Primary School.
