1) What's something about you that most people at Lady Barn might not know but would find interesting or surprising?

I talk about my cats, children and my allotment from time to time but after the summer holidays, I will be a qualified yoga instructor.  Some people will already know that I am qualified doctor and lawyer too!  I just love learning.  I joke that at some point I will become an architect as it is such a long course, but buildings are fascinating!

2) If you could switch roles with a pupil for a day, what class or subject would you choose, and why?

My favourite subjects were maths, science and art so a day of these would be great!

3) Can you share a favourite moment in school?

Every time someone shows me something they have found and never seen before.  There is so much awe and wonder in that moment. 

4) What's your go-to way to relax and unwind after a busy day at Lady Barn?

I love cooking, playing board games, going to a yoga class or doing some crochet.  I also go to the cinema and theatre regularly. 

5) If you could have any superpower for a day, what would it be, and how would you use it at Lady Barn?

In my role at school, the superpower I'd like the most is to be able to talk to animals and plants.  What amazing stories they would have, although I might be more reluctant to eat the vegetables and cut down the branches of the trees.
