I am a mum of two (Annabel who is the Lower 4 and is a weekly boarder in Michell and Polly who is 9) and a full-time lawyer working in London. I volunteered to be part of QASPA as we are new to the school and we wanted to get to know the Queen Anne's ethos and parents, whilst immersing ourselves in school life.

I am relishing the challenge of being involved with QASPA and being co-chair with Sunelle very much. We have a fabulous committee of enthusiastic people and are looking forward to hosting many social events.

We chose QAS for Annabel as it was recommended by the head of her last school as being a very good fit for her (I also remember playing against QAS in lacrosse when I was at school and they had a fearsome reputation as excellent sportswomen!). We instantly knew this was the school for her when we were lucky enough to come to an open day.

Annabel also spent a taster day getting to know the school. She loved it straight away and therefore so did we! Only half a term in and we have not been disappointed at all and already seen Annabel blossom.
