As the Parish Priest since 2012 of St Patrick’s Church, I’ve had a privilege of being a Governor for nearly ten years now. My role is focussed around RE and the Catholic Life of the school, I often come to say Masses, supporting children preparing for their First Holy Communion and Confirmation or just visiting different year groups in their classes. My hobbies include hiking in the mountains and visiting historic buildings and places owned by the National Trust.

Mum to two young adults (both studying at St Edmunds). Work full time as a Health & Safety Manager (I promise I'm not the Fun Police!). During free time I enjoy walking my dog and catching up with family and friends.

Sàdé was born and raised in the Black Country and has always been passionate about supporting people to develop themselves. For over fifteen years Sàdé has volunteered and worked within the voluntary sector and Local Government, in roles that support and encourage children, young people and families.

As a parent to a child who has recently started their journey at St Patrick's, Sàdé is keen to work closely with the school and other Governors to ensure that a high standard is maintained, having a positive impact on the wellbeing of the children and the local community of Wednesfield.

Shona has lived in the local area all of her life and both of her children attended St Patrick's and now Our Lady & St Chad. She was previously a Parent Governor at the school and is now a Staff Governor.

Shona loves being creative and enjoys reading, listening to podcasts and walking her dog!
