Mandy Wood

 

 Co-opted Governor

I am originally from Dorset, but have lived in Portsmouth since 2000.  My son is currently in Y2 and I was approached in Dec 2017 about becoming a Governor. I myself am a teacher, and am currently the Head of School for English, Maths, Sport and Public Services at St Vincent College, in Gosport.


I am passionate about education and feel honoured to have been asked to play a part in Cumberland Infant School. I think that Cumberland is such a nurturing, caring school and plays such a significant role in the development of our children's young lives, giving them a passion for lifelong learning.


I have been asked to take on the responsibility of overseeing how PE is being run at the school, alongside working with the Middle Managers on how to maintain the excellent teaching and learning that is taking place.


On a personal level, I used to play Softball for GB and national level hockey and rugby. Unfortunately old age and injuries have set in, so I now only play softball and hockey at a more local level. I love spending time with my family, country walks and camping in our campervan.
