Principal (Hockwold) – Ex Officio Governor
I am very privileged to be the Principal of the primary site at Iceni Academy.
I feel passionately that all children should enjoy school and be immersed in the awe and wonder of the new experiences and opportunities that we can provide them.
In my spare time I like to go walking with my dog, socialise with family and friends and read. I have two wonderful grown-up children and my husband, who I like to spend weekends with. My favourite drink is green tea!
