I am an employment lawyer with lots of experience of business restructure and TUPE transfer. I worked for a large corporate law firm for over 10 years before becoming a full time Mum to my three children (Nursery, Reception and Year 2.) With my youngest enjoying the nursery, I feel that I have some time to give something back to the school. I have been a school Governor before when I was a Community Governor at King's Heath Boys' School in Birmingham, a role which I really enjoyed. I am keen to get involved with the governance of Bexton and I hope that my skill set will be useful to the Board.
