Hi, I am currently a school business manager working in schools for the last 20 years.
I’ve got significant experience of finance, health and safety, hr and governance, both as a Governor and Clerk to Governors.

I am currently the Vicar of St Mark's Church in Bredbury. I was formally a secondary school teacher, teaching physics and PE. This background has given me a passion for education and for creating opportunities for children to thrive. I have been involved in school governance since 2010 and I have a special interest in safeguarding and ensuring that the pastoral and wellbeing needs of both staff and students are valued and met. |

Hi, I'm a enthusiast who loves to laugh. I have been a teahcer of Design Technology for more than 30 years so I love anything to do with design, making things and working out how things work. I am really involved in the community at St Mark's Church, it's brilliant that the school and church work so closely together. I'm into DIY and love cycling, provided the bike is battery powered! |
