Moira Laffey

Moira has a PhD in Chemistry. After a few years working as a civil servant, she saw the light and retrained to teach. She initially specialized in supporting adults with difficulties with maths. then by a happy accident embarked on a career in independent prep schools. Over the years she held posts as teacher, head of department, deputy head, and head. On retirement from the chalk-face, she worked as a consultant with a variety of educational agencies. Departmental and school reviews, senior appointment interviews and being the independent member of disciplinary and complaint panels in both the maintained and independent sectors provided a wide range of challenges and stories to remain confidential.

In 2016 Moira became a Governor of a primary school in Wiltshire and as chair in 2018 took the school through the due diligence to join TWHF in March 2018. She has particular interests in the teaching of maths and the opportunities for governors to network and obtain training. She is delighted to be the representative of TWHF local governing bodies on The Trust Board and will work to support good communication.
