"I have worked in education for nearly 29 years and take pride in the way I support staff with my knowledge of Human Resources, Health and Safety, Governance, ICT, Finance, Administration and Facilities Management. I encourage staff to be the best that they can be and feel my qualifications and experience demonstrate this. I went into education as I wanted to be part of a team which could make a difference to pupils and provide them with the best experiences possible. I started my journey as a School Secretary and worked my way up, taking on different roles and gaining different experiences along the way. I have been a School Business Manager for the last 16 years." Julie Aquilina |

"I am recently retired as a head teacher in a Leicester City school. Married with three grown up children and two grandsons. Talking to and interacting with children and young people is a favourite past time. It fascinates me that we all learn in quite different ways and I am passionate about ensuring our assessment procedures capture those developing skills whatever they are. Away from schools I enjoy walking my lovely dog in natural spaces, swimming and reading." Eleanor Shaw |
