I have been in the school business management profession since September 2012. Since I started, I have been very fortunate to see my role evolve within two high performing infant schools to become a valued part of the school's senior leadership team. Since October 2017, I am now School Business Manager across our three Pinxton schools - John King Infant Academy, Longwood Infant Academy & Kirkstead Junior Academy, as part of Flying High Partnership. This has brought new challenges but also lots of new opportunities for collaborative working and continuous school improvement, which has further enhanced my already dynamic and interesting role. I am very proud to work for our Pinxton Schools and look forward to our continuing journey as academies.

Pinxton Village Infant Schools is a federation of two village infant schools in Pinxton which came together under one headship and a common identity in 2007. We consider ourselves as one school based on two sites. My role is to support our Head Teacher and Deputy Head Teacher in running the non teaching aspects of our schools. My responsibilities include financial resource management, management information systems and ICT, facility and property management and health and safety.

I am very pleased to now be part of the Waxtie Team. I have responsibility for managing the back office administrative functions which include:Process definition and designBusiness performance monitoring/forecastingInvoicingBookkeeping and internal record keepingCredit controlAccounts PayableHR processes
