Behaviour, Attitudes & Personal Development |
A bit about me |
I worked in Primary Education for 28 years. Much of that time as a Deputy Headteacher and Acting Headteacher. I have lived most of my life in the Nuneaton area with the last three years in Fenny Drayton (however, because of the community spirit and welcoming approach of so many people it feels like I’ve been here a lot longer!). Together with my husband, I enjoy an active retirement with special interest in gardening, swimming, walking and travelling the world. We have seen many exotic places yet still feel lucky that we have such a rich and varied local environment. |
One thing I love about the school |
Having known a large number of primary schools I find St Margaret’s one of the most inviting and friendly. The children are a delight. They are polite, respectful, caring and willing to help. |

A bit about me |
I moved to Stoke Golding more than 35 years ago expecting just to stay a few years. For most of those years I have attended St. Margaret's Church and been on the Parochial Church Council. My grandchildren attend St. Margaret's School as did my children before them. I love so many things about the school and want to see it continue to flourish. My working background is in the NHS in Medical Physics, carrying out radiation protection work. I am now retired but always busy doing something.
|
One thing I love about the school |
It is hard to say just one thing, perhaps the positivity. You can't help smiling at the enthusiasm of the children.
