School Council since its inception and has daily contact with the
pupils, believing this to be an important part of her role.

During her time at WKRS Marilyn has seen, and
been instrumental in making, tremendous changes throughout many
aspects of the school. “A succession of awards cumulating in
designation as an SEN College in September 2007 has been the result
of a lot of planning and hard work by all the staff. The high
service levels, supported by such a dedicated professional team,
ensure our pupils get the best opportunities to believe in
themselves and achieve their personal goals. It is a privilege to
work within this team and rewarding to work with the pupils”.
