I joined the governing body of St. Peter’s in March 2020 as I wanted to help to support and improve the school.
I have worked in education for over 10 years and I am passionate about ensuring that all young people receive their entitlement of world class education. I am an Assistant Principal at Trinity Academy Halifax, leading on curriculum development and I have delivered both academic and vocational qualifications. I hope to bring my expertise to the governance team at Trinity Academy St Peter’s to ensure that our students make exceptional academic progress and engage in a broad, balanced and nurturing curriculum.
