PREMISES COMMITTEE

EMMA PINDER
Emma is the Chair of our Premises Committee. She is a Community Governor. "My two children have attended the school and benefited from the wonderful teaching and sense of community, so I wanted to give something back by becoming a governor. As an architect, I felt that I could put my skills to good use on the Premises Committee. I come from a corporate background with a culture of continuous improvement and being proactive. I believe that we should never be complacent and by continuously reviewing what we do, we can “learn to be the best that we can bee.” Likes: Genuine kind and helpful people, good manners, spending time with my family and friends, ballet, drawing and creative crafts. Dislikes: Unfairness, rudeness and people who pretend to be nice when they are not really.
