Governors

I have been Head teacher at Mordiford CE Primary School since September 2014.
Since my appointment I have enjoyed working with the governors at Mordiford, it has been a privilege to work with and get to know the volunteers who work so hard to help make our school such a special place. I work closely with the governors to ensure that our children are safe and happy, that our curriculum meets the needs of the children, that academic achievement is high and that our buildings and premises are maintained and developed.

I became a Chair of Governors in December 2020.
I live in Holme Lacy. I have a son and a daughter and 5 grandchildren. One of my grandchildren attends Mordiford CE Primary School and is in year 2.
I have many years of experience working in a Primary School in various roles. I was employed at Holme Lacy Primary School for 30 years. During that time I worked as a classroom assistant working with small groups of children and supporting the teacher in many ways. For 6 years I was employed on a one to one basis working with a child with Special Educational Needs.
For the last 15 years at the school, I was the school administrator. During that time I undertook a considerable amount of training gaining a number of qualifications including a Certificate in School Business Management (CSBM) and a Diploma in School Business Management (DSBM).
I have previously been a Parent Governor for 8 years and an Associate Governor for 4 years.

I have been Rector of Mordiford Parish Church since 2011, and sit on the governing body as a Foundation Governor. I took over the role of Chair in September 2015. I am also one of the three trustees of the land and buildings.
I have five sons and have had plenty of experience as a parent of children at schools. I have also been involved in four church schools over the years, and as a Chartered Surveyor take a strong interest in the school’s accommodation.
I regularly take assemblies at the school and work the RE co-ordinator to help with the delivery of the curriculum and also collective worship.

I am extremely lucky to be a Staff Governor at our school. I began my long relationship with Mordiford C E Primary School as a parent in September 2002 when my daughter started in the Reception Class. I was struck then, how wonderful our school is. I later joined the team as a teacher and have never looked back.
I live locally with my family and feel blessed to have had the opportunity to be part of such a caring, nurturing and hugely successful place. When I am not at school I spend my time enjoying the successes of my own children and the wonderful countryside we live in.
Although I have been teaching since 1992, I am involved with my husbands business, which keeps me in touch with the world outside the ‘Mordiford Bubble’.
