My son attended Flagg and has flourished which encouraged me to become a parent governor and give back to the outstanding provision. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and reading. |
My daughters both attended Flagg Nursery School and I was struck by how special a place the nursery is and how much my daughters thrived there. I joined the governors in Spring 22 and have worked briefly in schools both in this country and abroad before retraining as financial adviser.
I have a long history and many special memories of Flagg Nursery School. I attended as a pupil and student and I was parent Governor when my children attended. Many members of my family have attended over the years.
