Our Governors

I have been a  governor at Bevington since 2012, first as a parent governor and now as co-opted governor. I have two children at the school and a third who was there from nursery until he finished primary school. I work full time in a financial services technology company and have always had a strong interest in the education sector, having held a previous role as LA governor at a local school and volunteered as a mentor. I chair the Finance & General Purposes committee.

I have been a Co-opted Governor for 2 years and was previously a Parent Governor for six years at Bevington. I have a daughter in Year 5 and a son who previously attended Bevington and is now at secondary school. I work full time for a local housing association in the construction department. I am also Link Governor for Safeguarding and Protection.

I was elected as a Co-opted Governor in May 2015.  I am a New Zealand born Principal of Southbank International School, Kensington, which is sited at the other end of Portobello Road.   I have been in education for 25 years, teaching all ages from 4 to 18 and working in a range of different types of schools.  I also lecture university students several times a year and volunteer at my local cinema in Kensal Rise, mostly making popcorn.  I sit on the Curriculum & Standards Committee.

I am a co-opted Govenor in Bevington and also sit on the Finance Committee.  I live in Kensal Green and have done so for the past 20 years.  Both my children went to St. Charles Primary school and are now in secondary education.  I work for a large Telecommunications company managing a sales team.  I am passionate about education and supporting our local schools using the benefit of my experience to make sure the pupils achieve their potential.
