Louise Thomson

Parent Governor 

Term of Office: 10th December 2021 - 9th December 2025

Louise joined the governing body in December 2021 and has one son at Send. She was keen to take up the role to have an opportunity to give back to the school and to work with the other governors to support the strong values-based education that the staff offer. Professionally, she's spent twenty-five years in marketing & brand strategy and is currently a director in the consulting arm of Kantar, the world's largest market research company. She hopes to bring some of that experience to her role as governor, particularly in terms of helping organisations decide the right strategy to meet the needs of their customers and to attract new users.                                                    

Louise grew up in Mayford and now lives in Old Woking with her husband and son.
