My name is Lynn and I have the honour of being the Chair of Governors here at Chatsworth Primary School. My involvement with, my love of, and my commitment to Chatsworth goes back many years now and covers a variety of roles. I have been a Deputy Head Teacher at Chatsworth, a staff governor, and now Chair of Governors.
As a head teacher and a parent, I understand the importance of giving every child a quality education and that children should feel safe and nurtured on the most important first stages of their educational journey.
Our role, as governors, is to support and challenge the school to ensure that it is providing the best education possible for every child and to work with the school in a strategical capacity.
I always look forward to meeting your children on my visits to Chatsworth and hope that our paths will cross too.

I have been teaching here at Chatsworth for 7 years. Before this, I taught in Ealing but was so happy to be able to work in my home borough. It has been a joy to become a member of the Chatsworth community and I couldn’t feel more at home. I am very grateful to be able to teach in such a rich and vibrant school full of bright and funny young minds.
Outside of school, I am never happier than riding my bike, playing my guitar (Aria), reading a Terry Pratchett book or having fun with my two girls.

I am delighted to have recently been accepted onto the school governing body as a parent governor. My daughter is currently in year 4 and has always received a high standard of both teaching and pastoral care so I am grateful to have the opportunity to give something back to Chatsworth and help make a meaningful contribution to it’s future.
Professionally, I began my career over 20 years ago, designing and building websites at small agencies and multi-national organisations such as Wiley Publishing and IBM. I am currently a Director of Technology at Capgemini. Away from work I enjoy running and swimming to keep fit and just love being outside, whether it’s in the garden or camping with the family whenever possible. I also share a huge love of Lego with my daughter.

Having moved to Isleworth in 2019, I’m excited to be a co-opted Governor at Chatsworth Primary School as a way of connecting with my local area.
My professional background is in healthcare communications. After studying Biology at university, I worked in the NHS and then moved to an agency based in Kew, where I now work as Client Services Director.
I’ve been a Samaritans listening volunteer since 2011, including three years as Branch Director, so I have a special interest in emotional health and wellbeing. I’m especially passionate about emotional health education in primary schools, helping children to develop communication and coping strategies that they will use through secondary school and beyond.
