I am a Reader at St Mary-at-Finchley, one of the sponsoring churches for the School, and became interested in serving on the Governing Body as a result of the links between the School and the church.
As a Christian, a retired magistrate and commercial solicitor, I hope I can bring my experience of participating and chairing boards and committees, together with my knowledge of good governance and Christian ways of working, to benefit the School.
It is a great privilege to work with a head teacher and board of governors who are committed to doing the best for the children and staff at the School.

I have been head teacher and a governor at St Mary’s since September 2015. I first became a head teacher in 2008 and regard it as my calling to work with children and their families in this capacity. I have taught in Church of England schools in London since I started my teaching career and as a practising Christian, I greatly value the opportunity this brings to express our faith freely as a school community. I also value the firm foundation provided by the ethos of such schools, not only in enabling us to teach the curriculum form our Christian perspective, but also to teach children about the love of God.

I was appointed as a governor of St Mary’s in September 2020 by the PCC of St Mary-at-Finchley Church. I have close ties with the school as my son attended from nursery to year 6 leaving in 2018 during most of that time I was PTA Treasurer . My background is in finance and I worked in the banking sector of the City for over 20 years. I am keen that all children of St Mary's have an education which develops their potential to the full but also allows them the confidence to enjoy learning. My outside interests are varied including spending time with family, growing veg on the allotment, playing bridge and campanology (you may have heard our efforts coming from the bell tower of St Mary-at Finchley!)
