There is a sense of community spirit and collective responsibility amongst Governors.

I count myself fortunate to be part of this group that influences school decisions on long-term viability and sustainability, so children can have a fair chance to succeed. As new Governor, this position is like no other - you help raise standards and educational opportunities.

I am committed to improving the prospects of our future generation and to see them become pillars of society. I want to see the school evolve in creativity and innovation. My purpose is on these benefits to environmental, social and diversity. No better place to do this than within my community.

I have a masters in finance and investment and I work in investment servicing, heading Industry Intelligence. While learning, as Governor I will bring forward-thinking, strategic focus, financial discipline and change.
