I love Fairford and the community I feel lucky to be a part of. I’ve always admired teachers so when my little girl’s school asked for a Parent Governor, I felt this was something I wanted to do to help her school to continue to run well.
I am a portrait photographer dealing with families and children so I already have a good relationship with parents across the community. Volunteering in other community events such as the Fairford Festival means I am also known within the community and am used to speaking to people from all walks of life. This ability to talk to anyone I hope is a skill I can use when working with other Governors as well as my ability to be empathetic to others in very different situations to myself.
I joined the committee just before the COVID Pandemic and saw first-hand how dedicated all the school staff were to all the pupils. I very much believe that learning enriches all our lives, but especially those of children, therefore I very much hope I can make my own contribution to the continued success of this school and in turn support our local community too.
