I took early retirement during the first COVID wave from a 30 year career with BT. My most recent work had been around business process efficiency.
Currently I am a serving magistrate in the Family Courts in Northamptonshire as well as looking after our 3 grandchildren- 2 of who attend the school.
I’m delighted to be appointed and very much look forward to being part of such a successful and positive school environment
