You've been awarded a British Empire Medal (BEM) in honour of your outstanding achievement and commitment to education and the local community - how did you come to work at the school?
I started volunteering at the school 24 years ago, helping out in the classrooms and then joining the PTA. I moved to working in the school office on a temporary basis when a vacancy came up, which led to a permanent position. I also help out at the breakfast club, clean the school and do lots of fundraising.
Were you surprised to learn you had been chosen as a recipient of a BEM?
