Summary

Gaynor is an experienced and dynamic education professional, with a demonstrated history of working in the independent sector for over 20 years. Having been judged as 'outstanding' in four separate ISI inspections, she has a reputation for setting (and achieving) incredibly high standards, whilst also fostering a love of, and enthusiasm for, learning. Coming from a large family herself, Gaynor is very much a team player and it is her willingness to 'lead by example' (coupled with an almost obligatory sense of humour) that makes her popular with both staff and pupils alike.
