I am currently a full time mum to my two sons, with the youngest one currently in the juniors at St James.  I was elected as a parent governor in the summer of 2019, and am the governor for EYFS/Reception and for Special Educational Needs and Disability.  I have lived in Weybridge for nearly 10 years and love how a local school like St James builds a community around the whole family.
