As a child I attended Glynwood and now my children are here, I’m keen to keep a close connection to a school to which I feel a very close affiliation and is much loved in the community. I love watching children grow and develop and feel being in the role of Governor gives me the opportunity to influence and ensure the school delivers to its maximum potential and ensure children are getting the most out of their educational experience.
