Lydia Cottingham – Foundation Governor

I moved to East Sussex 19 years ago when I married my husband. Formerly a midwife, I gave up my career to be a stay-at-home mother to our six children. Four of my children have completed their Primary School education at Blackboys School, and two still attend there. A lifelong Christian, I became a Foundation Governor for the St Thomas a Becket Federation in 2022. I thoroughly enjoy this role, and wanted to continue to support Framfield School in this way following the dissolution of the Federation, as we embrace the exciting new opportunities for the future.
