Information: I have worked at Greswold for over 14 years, starting as an NQT in Year 3. Since completing my induction year I have also worked in Year 5 and now Year 2, joining the leadership team in 2007. Throughout my time at Greswold there have been lots of changes.

Information: Being a governor at Greswold is not a new position for me as prior to my retirement in 2015 I had been a staff governor for many years. I was more than delighted to be invited to remain on the governing body albeit in a different capacity. Greswold has been part of my life for 20 years and I have seen many changes, especially currently with the expansion to three form entry. I have a high regard for all the school community and have a passion to be part of the journey Greswold is currently taking. I am hoping my long association with Greswold and my experience in an educational environment will be of value to the school's future.
