Meet the Academy Committee Members

I have been a school governor for 20 years starting when my two children attended school in the 1990s. I have served on many governors’ committees and am now Chair of the Primary Academy. I am a retired local government officer finishing my career in a regeneration department in an east London local authority. I now enjoy photography, gardening and, since retirement, not travelling daily on the Northern Line.

I started teaching in a Sutton Primary School in 1971 and, apart from a break when my children were small, continued working in four different schools across the borough for the next forty years. I was Deputy Headteacher in two of those schools and served as Staff Governor in three of them. Following retirement from school I worked for five years partly as a tutor at Roehampton University and partly as a facilitator delivering professional development courses to teachers. I am particularly interested in pastoral care, SEND, and staff professional development and wellbeing, and strongly believe that every child deserves the support they need to achieve their full potential. I am now thoroughly enjoying retirement with extra time to spend with family and friends and walking my Labrador! I am also a voluntary support worker for a local charity.

As a parent governor, Tanvi hopes to support Brookfield Primary to ensure every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
