About me
I am married and have lived in Thelwall for over 40 years. I have been a teacher for more than 40 years, originally teaching History and RE in a local High School, I have however spent the majority of my career working with children who have SEN. In 2014 I joined the Governing Board of Thelwall Infant School. I strongly believe that all children should get the opportunity to receive an education that focuses not only on academic subjects, but one that provides a nurturing environment where they can thrive and develop their individual personalities in a safe environment. I know from experience that Thelwall Infant School provides just such an education and I want to help maintain this for the future.
