Career |
I am a registered pharmacist. In my early career I worked across different sectors and hospitals within West Yorkshire, gaining postgraduate qualifications in clinical practice and psychopharmacology. Having returned to my hometown, I currently work at the local hospital. I have a varied role at the hospital, delivering healthcare direct to patients as both a pharmacist a and independent prescriber, managing and developing staff, and ensuring governance processes within the hospital are adhered to. For the past 3 years I have undertaken a joint role between the hospital trust and the University of Lincoln, where I teach on the Master of Pharmacy course 3 days a week. I believe very strongly in supporting and inspiring young people from the local area to achieve their potential. Through careers events I have links with local secondary schools and further education colleges in the local area, and look forward to supporting students at Woodlands Academy to grown into Tall Oaks. |

Staff Governor |
|
Name |
Louise French |
Governor Experience |
This is my first role as a school governor and I am proud to be part of such an enthusiastic and driven board of governors. It is an exciting time for Woodlands Academy and I am thrilled to play a role as both teacher and governor to help steer the already rapid progression of the school into the future. |
Career |
Leaving school at 18, I completed an accountancy apprenticeship before becoming a finance officer for Sure Start. Circumstances somehow then found me as an Estate Agent and Lettings Manager until serious illness while pregnant prompted me to re-evaluate my career choices. I took time out to be a stay-at-home mum while teaching myself A-level sociology and going on to gain a first class honours degree in Education Studies and Special Educational Needs and Inclusion. Completion of a PGCE in 2014 allowed me to become a primary school teacher which had always been a childhood dream. I have now been at Woodlands Academy for two years and I absolutely love it. |
