I have lived in Kinoulton for 28 years and both my children were educated at the school.

I retired some years ago from secondary teaching in Modern Languages.

I was employed by the Local Authority as a clerk to Complaints and Permanent Exclusion hearings. I also worked in a team who delivered governor training across the county.

I live in Upper Broughton and have two young daughters both of whom attend the school. .

I have worked in Education for over twenty years and during this time I have had a variety of roles including working in School Improvement for Northamptonshire County Council, which involved training schools in new initiatives, supporting the process of self-evaluation and supporting schools to improve outcomes for children. I also owned and managed a day nursery for several years and worked as an advisory teacher for Early Years settings. I currently work as a University Lecturer on Initial Teacher Training Programmes.

My passion is Early Years and I believe that all children should be given the best quality provision particularly in their early years. I have contributed to a number of text books for teachers and Early Years educators, writing on subjects such as parental involvement in children’s learning, child development and adult engagement with children.

During my time on the Governing Body I hope to share my expertise and experience with the school and I look forward to meeting and listening to the children and their families.
