 Appointed by: Diocese of Leeds - Foundation Governor

 I was approached by the Head Teacher on recommendations from others to become a Govenor. My daughter attended St Patricks and I was an active member of FOSP for   many years even after she had left the School. I am an active member of St Patricks Church in a number of roles including cathecist for confirmation. 
 I have worked in Finance for many years and hope to bring some of the skills learnt to the role.
 I am very proud of St Patricks School and its heritage. I want to help it continue to be a school to be proud of where children learn, grow and gain confidence, and feel part of a   loving caring community.
