Term of Office: 25/11/2020 – 24/11/2024

I live in Huddersfield and my daughter attends All Saints.

I was appointed as a parent governor in 2020 and I currently serve on the Staffing and Curriculum sub-group.

I am a qualified and registered Social Worker and I am currently a Principal Lecturer in Social Work at a local University.

I have 13 years’ experience of teaching in higher education and I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I hope that I can use my skills and experiences of teaching and learning to contribute towards school governance.

I feel that it is important that all young people have the opportunity to participate positively in school life and to achieve their full potential. I am passionate about ensuring that young people are equipped with the academic, vocational and social skills they need to successfully move into further education and employment.

Term of Office: 27/09/2022 – 26/09/2025

I have worked in education for ten years, of which the last seven years have been spent living and working in Huddersfield.

As the staff governor, I aim to use my experience to provide the best educational experience for our students. 

I benefitted hugely from the education opportunities I received whilst at school and want to facilitate similar opportunities for students at All Saints.

As a Geographer, I want our students to develop a curiosity and passion for learning about our world so that they are equipped for life after All Saints.

Term of Office: 06/10/2022 – 05/10/2026

As a qualified teacher who has always been interested in education, I am delighted to be able to make a contribution to the governance and educational performance of the school, and look forward to working with my fellow governors.

I started my career as an RAF Officer and transitioned into business where I gained hands-on CEO level experience of delivering high growth in several businesses, including leading them through considerable periods of change.

This strategic and operational expertise is complemented with experience gained in UK based and international consultancy roles facilitating and supporting strategy development, business performance improvement, leadership, and team development solutions.

Currently I am applying my wealth of experience and expertise to help CEO/Owners of small and medium sized businesses grow their businesses and optimize their business value.

I live and work in Huddersfield – my oldest daughter attended the old All Saints and my youngest daughter is currently a pupil at the new All Saints.

I am an academic psychologist with 17 years’ experience of working in Higher Education. I am also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. My research is qualitatively orientated with a focus on gender and sexuality. I am also a listening volunteer with The Samaritans.

I feel it is important that we nurture young people’s creativity – empowering them to express themselves, ensuring their voices are heard. In my view It is vital that we foster an educational environment whereby young people are able to grow and develop into vibrant citizens.
