Professional Experience I am an education consultant specialising in special educational needs and disability (SEND). I was previously Inclusion Advisory Teacher for a local authority. I have a particular interest in mental health and wellbeing. I also volunteer for a charity providing legal advice to parents of children with SEND.
Hobbies and Interests Travelling, keeping fit, long dinners with family and friends.
Thing I love most about North West It’s like a family. The staff are so dedicated and care deeply about the children.
Why I Joined the School Governors/Trustees I hoped that my background and experience could help strengthen the work of the SEND department who do an  absolutely brilliant job in supporting those children with special educational needs or mental health difficulties.  I
was impressed by the ethos of the school, led by Miss Caplan.
Fun Fact My 7 year old grandson beat me in a parkrun.
