Main Skills | Payroll/Pensions

Key Governor responsibilities | Co-opted governor |
A bit about me | Although I originally trained as a teacher (specialist subject Art and PE), most of my career has been concerned with payroll and pensions - 10 years at managerial level with the Learning and Skills Council (formerly the Further Education Funding Council) followed by 10 years with a local university. I am an avid believer in lifelong learning - you're never too young or too old - and have always especially enjoyed the training and development aspects of any roles I have been involved in. Recently retired from full time employment, I now have time to pursue my interests in all things "crafty" and travel as much as possible, as well as spend valuable time with our two children and three grandchildren. Our eldest grandson is currently a pupil at Ullesthorpe.
