I became a Parent Governor of Cannon Lane First School in 2005 when both my sons attended the school. In 2009 I became vice chair and have been Chair since the school amalgamated to become Cannon Lane Primary School in 2013. During this time, it's been a privilege to have taken an active part in working with our children, staff and governors to develop and expand Cannon Lane Primary School. I believe all children are entitled to achieve their potential, by us providing an excellent standard of education and environment for them to learn in.

Personal Statement:

I joined the Governing Board in February 2021 as a Staff Governor.  My teaching career started in 2010, then in 2018 I joined the teaching team at Cannon Lane Primary School.  My teaching experience spans across all Primary years.  Currently I am a Year 1 teacher and a PE Subject Leader.

 Out of school my interests include ballet, running, walking my dog and looking after my children.

Becoming part of the Governing Board will enable me to share my experiences as a member of staff with the Governors, whilst also gaining an insight of the various roles and responsibilities being a School Governor involves.

Staff Governor

Personal Statement:

I joined Cannon Lane Primary School in 2017 as a Year 3 teacher. This academic year, I have moved to Year 6 and have taken on the role of Maths Leader, which has allowed me to gain experience in both Key Stages within the school. This has helped me get a wider understanding of the support needed for children to move forward and the support needed by teachers to help them.

Prior to teaching at Cannon Lane, I was a teaching assistant, which gave me an insight into schools from a different viewpoint

I have had the privilege of being a governor at Cannon Lane since 2013 – initially as a parent governor and now as a co-opted governor.

Other responsibilities include being the link governor for EYFS and as part of the curriculum and community committee.

As a paediatrician, the development of children is something I have always cared passionately about.

I enjoy my role, ensuring that high standards of learning are delivered and by providing strategic leadership and accountability to support the school as it grows.

I am an Optometrist and am currently working as the resident Optometrist at a large Special School in Brent where I am in charge of looking after all 300 children's eyes. In addition to this, I am the finance manager at a family GP Practice in Hillingdon.

I strongly believe in a holistic approach to a child's education where their mental and social well-being should be on par with their academic achievements. I am an Advanced Neuro-Linguistic Practitioner and have delivered Mindfulness workshops to both pupils and staff at Cannon Lane in the past.

I look forward to the new challenges of being a parent governor and working with the school to help maintain the current high standards that have been set.

Personal Statement:

I became a Parent Governor of Cannon Lane Primary School in November 2022. I have two sons studying in the school.  I look forward to representing the views of parents and students in ensuring that the school continues to maintain its high standards and reputation. I have varied experience in IT, Operations and Banking across India, UK and US. I am currently working as Chief Financial Officer for a mid-sized International Bank and looking forward to bringing my experience in corporate governance, Finance and Banking experience to the role.

I was co-opted as a governor at Cannon Lane Primary School in January 2023. I worked in education for over 40 years and was the Head Teacher of a primary school for 18 years before my retirement.

I am a passionate about children's learning and hope i can bring experience and knowledge to the Governing Body. I believe that every child is entitled to a good all-round education, whatever their ability and that as a school we must strive to meet their needs within a fun and safe learning environment.

I look forward to working with the Head Teacher, Governors, parents and staff to continue to provide excellent opportunities for Cannon Lane pupils.
