Why did you want to be a governor? |
Firm in the belief that knowledge and skills are a key basis for fulfilment in life and great social levellers, I had long wanted to be a governor. In particular, I wished to support pursuit of excellent in a Primary school, where the formal education journey begins.

What do you do when you are not being a governor? |
My entire career has been within London University, most recently at UCL as Assistant Director supporting strategic development, and managing the resources and administration team of SSEES. Since retiring, I am enjoying more time pursuing interests derived from a passion for observing nature and life-long learning (ornithology, botany, Art, languages). When I am not being a governor, I am having fun sharing adventures with family and friends. |
|
During your time as a governor, what achievement has made you most proud? |
The role of governor and Vice-Chair is a continuous learning experience that increases in satisfaction as my involvement grows. I am enormously proud of a consistently high quality provision and the noteworthy inclusiveness which distinguish Sheen Mount. A recent highlight was completion of the swimming pool project to enhance a facility that is greatly enjoyed by the children. |
