I have been Clerk to the Governing Board since November 2020.
I support the Board and prepare the agenda’s and write the minutes of the committee meetings and Full Governing Board meetings.
I was School Business Manager at a Wandsworth special school for 17 years and acted as their independent clerk for many years as part of my role. I retired from full time work in December 2019.
I am married with two grown up sons.
My name is Natasha, I am a Parent Governor. I have two children currently at St Mary’s and have been a part of the school community for over 10 years.
I work in marketing part-time which has given me the opportunity to spend more time with my children while they are young and allowed me to use my time to give parents of both schools a voice on the governing body.
I am the year 6 class teacher in St Mary’s, and originally from County Cork, Ireland, I have been living in London for 8 years and teaching for almost 10 years. Before teaching in London I taught in schools in Cork City. I am passionate about teaching and learning, as well as sports and mental well being for pupils and staff. I sit on the curriculum and standards committee.

I am a Foundation Governor and member of the Curriculum & Standards Committee, the Admissions & Discipline Committee, and the Link Governor for SEN & Disadvantaged Groups. I joined The Federation of Sacred Heart and St Mary’s Primary School as a Governor in 2020. I attended Sacred Heart Primary School as a child, along with my 4 siblings, and have been a Sacred Heart Church parishioner all of my life.
I have a background in Child Behaviour Therapy, specifically working in schools within the field of Special Educational Needs and Mental Health. It has always been a goal to give back to the school I grew up in and the church that developed my faith in. I hope to use my experience and knowledge to contribute positively to both schools, and to ensure the effective practice of wellbeing and equality within the schools. I have enjoyed my time as a Governor thus far and always look forward to seeing all the hard working staff and wonderful students.
I have been a resident of Battersea since 1993 and have two children, our youngest currently attends Sacred Heart school following in his brother’s footsteps who is now in secondary education.
