  I have taught at Claydon Primary School since 1999 and I am on my second stint as a governor. I love language; I love teaching French as well as English. I am the lead for reading so you'll often find me in our school library talking to children about what books they have enjoyed and what they would like to borrow next. I have had my children attend Claydon Primary School and care passionately about all children succeeding in our nurturing and inspiring environment.

  I have strong links with the community of Claydon as I am the C.E.O. of “It’s Rocket Science” Centre in the village and wish to help the school in anyway I can. With a project management and finance background to all of my working life, I hope I can bring something to the meetings and aid discussions about the school’s future. I am very proud to be a small part of an amazing school where inspiring and enthusing children with a strong ethos, is at the heart of everything they do.
