Governing Body

I’m proud to volunteer as a Governor at Biggin Hill Primary School because I passionately believe that every child deserves the best school experience possible: respectful, inclusive, diverse, inspiring and of outstanding quality.

The Governing body acts as a ‘critical friend’ to the school leadership team and serves as another important link to the wider community. We offer support and constructive challenge across all aspects of education, safeguarding, finance and community. I’m excited to be able to contribute in a small way to supporting every child in reaching their full potential at BHPS. I also share the wonderful school ethos that this potential combines academic progress and social/emotional growth.

My professional experience includes design and business management, primarily in the construction industry, but also in the social enterprise sector where I develop creative tools to support young people’s mental wellbeing. I have 4 years’ experience as a school Governor locally which I hope will be valuable in my role at BHPS. Aside from caring for my Two children, I enjoy illustration, kayaking, cooking and being out in our beautiful local countryside.

I feel strongly that having an engaged, motivated, trusting and supportive community of parents and carers is a real asset to any school and impacts positively on the children’s experience. I am no longer at the school gates every day, my son has now moved on to Secondary School, but I’m looking forward to attending Governor meetings, fundraising/social events and visiting school regularly to listen and learn. Every day is a school day after all!

Having taken on the role of a Parent Governor at BHPS in 2021 during a pandemic, it was certainly a challenge that I was happy to take on. 

Having been a Community Governor at another Bromley primary school for over 3 years, I want to embrace the opportunity to bring my experiences from that role, which has allowed me to understand first-hand the challenges faced by the teaching staff, as well as experiencing the enthusiasm and positivity that they generate on a daily basis.

From a personal viewpoint, I also want to help and support the school using my background of working as a Building Services Engineer in Construction and the associated Health & Safety involvement.

 My daughter is currently in KS2 at the school, so I also want to help provide the best possible environment and opportunities for my and every child, which will allow them to experience life to the full and let them achieve their full potential.

I have lived in Biggin Hill for over 20 years and am a proud mum to three children; two of which both attended BHPS and one is due to start in 2022. I have a real passion for education and enjoyed spending time over the years volunteering at the school with reading and maths.

I believe that our school should provide a safe, engaging and inclusive environment for each child to learn, develop and grow in – to enable them to reach their full potential academically and be supported in acquiring the psychological tools they need as they progress through life.

I have 15 years experience working in the corporate sector in London, I was involved in several strategic decisions across a broad spectrum of disciplines. I currently co-care for my brother who is disabled with severe learning difficulties. This has taught me a lot about the importance of patience and understanding within group settings especially. I have a deep love for nature and advocate mental health awareness for all ages. As a governor I will use my personal, community and business experience to drive efficiencies across processes and procedures and bring fresh, positive perspective on the future of our school.
