What is your favourite part about working for Schools Plus?
The flexibility and the fact that every day is different.
Can you describe a typical working day for you?
I normally start around 1pm, check emails and answer any calls. In the evening I will be out on site – I have four schools with the nearest being 20 miles away, so I can often be found in my car!

I would chose Green as it is the colour of nature, and living round here you are very connected to nature.
Finally, what is your favourite song and why?
Concierto de Aranjuez. Not a song but an amazing piece of Spanish music, mainly guitar. I have a Spanish father and it reminds me of my heritage.
