Alison Flouri : Co-opted Governor

Alison lives in the local community and has been part of the Governing Board at Carlton Miniott school since 2005. She enjoys working alongside the leadership of the school to continually develop and
improve the education and life experiences of the children. Having worked as a teacher for 27 years has enabled her to perform her strategic governor duties with a sound operational understanding of
education. I believe a successful governor is one who is a ‘critical friend’ via a supportive and informed position. Alison's  own two children had a wonderfully enriched and happy education at Carlton
Miniott School that has stood them in good stead for their current University Education.
