Trustees
The Foundation is very fortunate to have a dedicated Board of Trustees, with a wealth of knowledge and experience across a variety of sectors including education, business, and law.
They give very generously of their time and are focused on acting in the very best interests of the Foundation.
From time to time we look to recruit new members to the Board of Trustees, if you would be interested in finding out more about this please email foundationoffice@princethorpe.co.uk for an informal discussion.

[ITEM_ROLE]
I worked in the secondary education sector for over 36 years, initially as a teacher of History and Religious Education in Birmingham. Whilst living in Southampton I took up headship of a Catholic school for boys, moving to Leamington Spa in 2005 when I became headteacher of Cardinal Wiseman School, Coventry.
Since retiring in 2016, I have become a part-time PhD student at Durham University researching the development of Catholic secondary education for girls at the end of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century.
I am a member of St Anne's parish and regularly attend services at Princethorpe, so I was delighted to be asked to become a trustee of the Princethorpe Foundation. I remain passionate about Catholic Education, where I spent most of my career and the opportunities education in a faith-based setting can give to students.
