I am a single mum of two daughters, four dogs and three cats. I joined the Local Governing Board in September 2021, as a new co-opted Governor.

I have a specialist focus for SEND in my role as Governor.  I am thoroughly enjoying the Governor role and look forward to meeting more parents, pupils, and staff.

Professionally, my job title is: Digital Delivery Director, which means that I deliver technical changes and new initiatives within the organisation that I work for. My favourite activity is reading, and least favourite activity is cooking. I am currently completing an MBA qualification with Aston University.

I am thoroughly enjoying the Governor role working alongside the rest of the board and look forward to meeting more children across my tenure. 

Marie Bradbury - Headteacher Ex-Officio Governor

It is a real privilege to be the Headteacher of St. George’s C of E First School and Nursery.  I love our amazing little people - they are eager to learn, well-behaved, friendly, and enthusiastic! I want to provide them with very best learning experiences, so they leave our school equipped with the qualities, values, attitudes, knowledge, understanding and skills they need to thrive at middle school and beyond.  

I believe that learning is best when it is hands-on and built on strong, positive relationships. At St. George’s we have a highly skilled and talented team of staff who are united in their commitment to providing the right support at the right time for our children and their families, and I am very proud to lead this team. 

The members of Local Governing Board at St. George’s bring a diverse range of perspectives, skills, and areas of expertise and I thoroughly enjoy working with them. To help me develop a deeper understanding of how to develop strong and effective school Governance, in November 2019 I became a Governor at a Primary School in another part of Worcestershire which is a role I find very rewarding.
