I have been asked to represent the Church as a Foundation Governor. I am happy to give my help and experience where I can. 

I was married 52 years ago. My husband is an architect and had a practice in Manchester until he retired. I taught mathematics in secondary schools for 36 years and was a Stockport Magistrate for 12 years. 

We have two children who live in Wilmslow with their spouses and we have six grandchildren, all attending Wilmslow schools. 

We lived in Marple for 35 years and moved to Wilmslow three years ago. I have attended St Bart’s and St Anne’s since I came. 

In our spare time, we love to travel, to go for walks and we love to read, do jigsaws and my husband is a model- maker and golfer. I miss my garden but tend my flower pots on our balcony.

I moved to Wilmslow several years ago and my eldest child began school at St Anne’s Fulshaw in 2011. I used to work as a Deputy Headteacher before I had children, so I feel very privileged to be able to play a part in the development of the school. I have also become involved in the PTA which I am finding really enjoyable. I love spending time with my husband and three children.

I retired in 2018 from my role as Assistant Head at Cheadle Hulme School. I was, latterly, Head of Admissions, having previously been in a pastoral role as Head of Lower School. I continued to teach English throughout my time at CHS and also taught Drama and Creative Writing.

I have lived in Wilmslow for 25 years, my three grown up daughters all live locally and my husband is a retired GP and a keen golfer and allotmenteer.

I loved the school on my recent visit: staff and students worked their magic on me with a carol singing rehearsal and an impromptu poetry performance!

I am a parent of twins who attended St Anne's and am delighted that I have been given the opportunity to chair such a devoted governing body.  I believe in the ethos of the school very much and hope to continue to support the teachers and staff and be part of an ever changing environment to improve our children's lives and education.

I have worked in numerous business and management roles, both in the North West and London, mainly in the areas of business training, business development and marketing and national account manager roles. I have worked in industries ranging from copyright, finance and security to travel. As well as a Business Master’s degree I also have a music degree and have taught piano, flute and instrumental privately. I am involved in a Wilmslow Youth charity and as a family we are members of St Teresa’s Church in Wilmslow and enjoy an active life in the community there.
