My name is Joanne Browne, and I am a Foundation governor.

My three boys all attended St Philip Howard Primary School, currently, they attend Nicholas Breakspear Catholic Secondary School. During their time at SPH, they felt safe and happy at school, teachers provided them with the best education which prepared them well for secondary school. 

I am very passionate about Catholic education having worked within the Catholic sector for over 25 years. During my time in Catholic Education, I have had various roles including; class teacher, senior leader, and deputy headteacher. I was phase leader and class teacher at St Philip Howard Primary School for 8 years and like my boys, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the school. I left SPH in 2021 to pursue a career in an advisory role and currently, I am a Religious Education Advisor for the Diocese of Westminster.

I am excited to be part of the St Philip Howard family once more and I look forward to meeting and working with all members of the SPH community.
