BIGGIN HILL PRIMARY SCHOOL - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Chairman of Governors
- Member of the Notice Board
I'm proud to volunteer as a Governor at Biggin Hill Primary School because I passionately believe that every child deserves the best school experience possible: respectful, inclusive, diverse, inspiring and of outstanding quality.
The Governing body acts as a ‘critical friend' to the school leadership team and serves as another important link to the wider community. We offer support and constructive challenge across all aspects of education, safeguarding, finance and community. I'm excited to be able to contribute in a small way to supporting every child in reaching their full potential at BHPS. I also share the wonderful school ethos that this potential combines academic progress and social/emotional growth.
My professional experience includes design and business management, primarily in the construction industry, but also in the social enterprise sector where I develop creative tools to support young people's mental wellbeing. I have 4 years' experience as a school Governor locally which I hope will be valuable in my role at BHPS. Aside from caring for my Two children, I enjoy illustration, kayaking, cooking and being out in our beautiful local countryside.
I feel strongly that having an engaged, motivated, trusting and supportive community of parents and carers is a real asset to any school and impacts positively on the children's experience. I am no longer at the school gates every day, my son has now moved on to Secondary School, but I'm looking forward to attending Governor meetings, fundraising/social events and visiting school regularly to listen and learn. Every day is a school day after all!

The privilege of being a Teacher Governor started for me in September 2018.
In my view, it is an additional way to ensure that the generation of young people, who we are nurturing and guiding through the early years of their lives, have the best opportunities available to them. We can develop a generation of children with high aspirations who will grow into cultured and determined young adults, living the greatest life available to them.
My passion is inclusion for all, achieved through educating our children that as people, we are the same but also so very different, and teaching our children to embrace their unique characteristics as well as those of others with open mindedness and compassion.
