I have previously worked as a Vice-Principal at a local College where I held a senior management position for over 20 years. I have also worked as a Learn Direct Manager, Adult and Community Learning Officer, Youth Worker and Youth Support Worker for young carers.
I have had responsibility for ensuring the curriculum and quality was fit for purpose and continually developed and met local and national needs and targets, within financial targets. I have a wide range of transferable skills in education; as well as finance and human resource management that I can bring to the governing body.
In my free time, at the weekends, I enjoy reading, walking and theatre, especially Northern Broadsides.

I live in the local community and have a child who currently attends the school and one who has now left for secondary. I have been a secondary school teacher since 2001 and currently work in a successful multi-academy trust. I have a wealth of experience in developing an innovative curriculum that inspires learners and builds resilience. I am a trained coach and in my current role, I am responsible for the performance management and professional development of staff. This includes delivering whole school training and promoting staff well-being.

My role in school is very varied, no day is the same! Amongst other things, my work involves looking after the school budget, ensuring the building is safe and secure, and dealing with the procurement of contracts.

I’ve lived and worked in Eggborough for the past 12 years and have two children currently loving their time at the school.
I work locally at Saint-Gobain Glass as a senior electrical engineer and this role has given me some valuable key skills and experience that I can use in my Governor’s role, relating to budget planning and health and safety management.
My primary pastime is spending time with my wife and two children. My other interests include football (playing and watching Leeds United) and Formula 1. I also work hard at home to try to develop my engineering career and progress as far as I can in the business.
