I joined the Governing Board as a co-opted governor in May 2018 having formally worked as a Maths teacher and Head of Lower School in the latter half of my over 20-year career at RMGS. Both my children attended Rainham Mark and when I retired, I wanted to maintain a connection to the school as I had enjoyed my time there so much and wanted to give something back.

I have been Chair of the now Academy Committee since September 2023. I carry out monitoring visits and write reports regarding the Quality of Education and Careers. I feedback to the CEO and Chair of Trustees through the Quality of Education Committee.

I enjoy attending the many and varied school and Alumni events staged throughout the year, and in reading the achievements and activities of students through the RMGS newsletter.
