Hilary Coupe

Co-opted Community Governor

I have lived locally since I was four years old and have taught in a variety of primary schools (State & Independent) in the vicinity.

Having raised two sons, both still living in the area, we enjoy spending time with them, their partners and our grandson.

Since retiring from teaching, I have been able to increase our UK and European travel (pendemic allowing) and we seem to be using our National Trust and English Heritage memberships to the full!

I welcome the opportunity to join the Unicorn Governing Body and look forward to actively contributing to the school's continuinung success, particularly to the involvement within the local community.

Staff Governor
