Our Staff

I looked after my first group of Cothillians as a gappie in Sauveterre. What I thought was going to be a year of sun, sea and skiing actually turned out to be months of socks, sick bugs and storming around the woods. I enjoyed it so much that I moved to France after completing my degree and spent another seven years at the Château, before returning to the UK.

I balance my time between teaching French to scholarship level, leading the matron team and my responsibilities as the Designated Safeguarding Lead. It is a privilege to look after your sons and I strive to ensure that they feel healthy, happy, safe and supported when at school.

I spend most of my holidays in the south of France but also make regular trips to Yorkshire for adventures with my nieces and nephews. My family have owned a butcher's shop there for sixty years, so I never return to Cothill without a couple of home-made pork pies to share in the staffroom!
