My name is Heidi James-Dunbar and I feel privileged to be joining the Maidenbower Infant’s School team of Governors. I am an Academic Faculty Director and English professor, and my work in higher education has only highlighted just how vital an excellent beginning in education is for all children. I am also a published author (both academic and fiction) and was a school governor some years ago at my son’s school in Central London at which I founded a breakfast club to ensure all the children began the day nourished. I am committed to inclusion and excellence for all.
