SACRED HEART - Key Persons


Julie Burnard

Job Titles:
  • Chairman of Governors
I have been a foundation governor of Sacred Heart for a few years now, and I am the lead governor for Statutory Grants (Pupil Premium and Sports Premium). I am married and have three children who are all past pupils of Sacred Heart. They are now living away from home working and at university, which gives myself and my husband more time to travel and enjoy visiting different countries and cultures. Being a past pupil myself, I have a great passion for our school.
