I have been part of the WINGS’ family since it formed in 2015 and am extremely proud of how it has developed and grown over this time. Going from strength to strength, we believe in raising pupil achievement, attainment and outcomes for all.

We look forward to continuing the journey alongside you and welcoming you into St Mark’s Christian family.

I have been involved in school governance for many years and am proud to be not only a Trustee of the Wings, but especially Chair of  St Marks Local Governing Board.  With over 30 years experience in education,  I have a passion for Modern Foreign Languages.  RE and SEN. I firmly believe that every child should have high aspirations and deserves all the love and support needed for them to reach their goals. 

On a personal level,  I'm a busy, devoted grandma who loves baking, yoga and walking.

I am a construction standards manager for the Co-op, this involves chairing, controlling and governing changes to standards and specifications as well as preparing and supporting submissions into the leadership forums. I've worked in governance and project delivery for over 10 years. 

I run a youth group at St Mark's Church and have done since 2014, since becoming a governor I am proud to be part of our wonderful school - especially how the children and staff have navigated the pandemic. 

I have thirty-five years experience working in various accounting roles and have been a governor for over sixteen years. I am delighted to be serving as part of the Board of Trustees for The Wings’ CE Trust and look forward to making valuable contributions to the schools in our Trust. I have two children and strongly believe every child should be nurtured to achieve everything of which they are capable….. and then a little bit more. In my spare time I enjoy visiting  the theatre, reading and puzzles.

I have been involved in primary education across the Wigan Borough for over forty years, working as a class teacher, deputy headteacher and acting headteacher. I fervently believe in giving all children the opportunity to fulfil their potential and become the best they can be. Since retiring from the classroom I became secretary of the Wigan Marie Curie Fundraising Group, which is going from strength to strength. I joined the St. Mark's family, before becoming a member of the LGB,  as part of the reading charity, 'Beanstalk', encouraging children in the joy of books. I am an avid reader, music lover (across all genres) and theatre goer and passionate about my tai chi which I have practiced both as a pupil and tutor since 2001.

My passion is to ensure all of the  children get the best out of their time at St Marks. I will attempt to use some of the skills I have gained in life and employment to ensure that all children reach their potential whilst at St Marks and that the school continues to grow, develop and remain an important part of the community moving forward.

I am the mother of two sons, one who currently attends St Marks, my youngest will attend in a couple of years too.

In my spare time I enjoy watching Wigan Athletic, Cricket and other sports, as well as attending gigs and travelling to places such as Croatia and Poland.
