| Miss Catherine Emmott | Chair |

I grew up locally and moved back to Oxted in 2004. I have a law degree and am a qualified Chartered Surveyor. Most of my career has been spent managing large property portfolios in London and briefly in Jersey. More recently I have been bursar at a local primary school. I became a Governor at de Stafford in June 2011 and in my spare time I love to look after my large horse and two small rescue dogs who keep me very busy! |

I completed a Post-Graduate Certificate of Education in Physical Education having graduated with a degree in Sports Science. Since qualifying as a teacher nearly 30 years ago, I have worked in three different Surrey secondary schools (Therfield, St Bede’s, de Stafford) and completed my National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) in 2009. My current role as Executive Headteacher involves overseeing the performance of two GLF secondary schools, de Stafford and Merstham Park. | |
