Carole Strange
Foundation Governor appointed by Westminster Diocese.Term of Office 4 years Appointed October 2014. Currently on School Improvement Committee. No pecuniary interest. No relatives on staff.
I have been an active member of Our Lady and St. Vincent parish for the past two years having moved from Finchley to Potters Bar. I am married with three grown up children and two adorable grandsons. I manage a nursery in a private school in Hendon. My aim has always been to support parents in their role and encourage young children to reach their full potential and to feel safe and secure. I see this early stage of education as a very crucial building block for their future education. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and working with a local homeless shelter project.
I look forward to the role of foundation governor to support the Headteacher and all of the staff to deliver outstanding education and personal social and emotional development for all children at the school
