Tourette’s Awareness assembly – Friday 15th May

Hi, I’m Leonie, I have a son who is in year 9 at Chaigeley.
As a wife and as a Mum to two wonderful autistic sons, (and three cats!), my life is busy. As any parent (especially those who have fought for an EHCP for their child) will know, a parent’s life is full of challenges, hurdles and the need to do anything to advocate for your children. Having spent time in various schools over the years, from helping at my oldest son’s primary school onward, I have seen first-hand how getting it right at school can make all the difference to a child’s education and wellbeing.
I recently had a change of career, due to redundancy. I currently work as an Exam Invigilator during mocks and exams seasons, mainly, but not exclusively, working as reader and scribe with SEND children. I also temp as a SEND Teaching Assistant. Prior to changing my job role, I worked within the Telecoms industry, mainly within systems management, for over 25 years.
As Parent Governor, I hope to drive positive changes for our parents experience with school and I look forward to meeting you all and getting started on this new challenge with you.
