Links to the school/area

I've lived in Witchford since 2001. My wife and I chose the village because of the friendly people and the two schools within the village.

Between 2001 and 2007 I was the editor of The Witchfordian, taking it from a very basic village newsletter into a magazine that was really popular in the village. 

Why did you become a governor?

My son joins WVC in September 2019 and having visited a number of local schools when deciding where to send him I was blown away by both Impington and Witchford's approach to learning. 

WVC has strong leadership in place, amazing teachers and a desire to be a fantastic school. As a parent, I want to help the school achieve its objectives and I hope that my work background can be of use to the school.
