I have been the Chair of Governors since 2019. I wanted to bring my experience as a secondary school Headteacher to a school where I can assist staff to support pupils and families. At home I enjoy family time and playing in a Ceilidh band.

I joined Clifton Green a few years ago when my daughter started in Reception. I became a governor because I wanted to support school in its' educational achievements and community involvement. I enjoy days out with my family, gardening and reading.

I have two children that attend school and I saw all the great and amazing things the school does for the pupils and the community, so I became a governor. I Like to relax at home with yoga and enjoy walks in the great outdoors.

I became a governor because I was really impressed by the ethos of the school. I have over 16 years of teaching experience which I use to support the school in lots of different ways. I also volunteer locally on History projects in York.

I have been a governor for a number of years and took on the role because I saw the great work that the school does and the work it does in the community. At home I like spending time with my family, singing in choirs, playing music and reading.

Clifton Green has such great opportunities for the Arts, such as singing and performing at the York Theatre Royal. I really enjoy running the Young Voices choir and seeing them perform at a Sheffield Arena is year is an annual highlight!
