Experience: I began my teaching career in the state sector becoming a deputy head in two co-educational schools. On the birth of my children I moved to the independent sector becoming Headmistress of Forest Girls’ School (1994), Combe Bank School (2000) and St Albans High School for Girls (2009). I am a schools’ inspector, the GSA representative on the Independent Schools teaching induction panel and a member of the GSA/HMC Universities Committee

Summary

I am the mother of two adult sons and have observed with interest the differences between boys and girls at all stages of their development. This was especially true during childhood when their educational needs were most disparate. Having spent twenty years in girls’ schools and worked with many, many teachers in this sector I have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience. I am passionate about single sex education!
