Angela provided the following personal profile:
"I started my teaching career in Bishop Ullathorne school in Coventry, where I was introduced to the CTF. In 1990 I became the President of the Coventry Catholic Teachers Association.

I later taught at Cardinal Griffin, Cannock, and St Cuthbert’s, Rochdale, where I introduced CTF/CATSC to my colleagues, and they were encouraged to attend our annual Conference.

Over the years I have had the opportunity to meet many teachers, committed to Catholic Education. CATSC has provided me with a source of comparative resources. It has given me a time of prayer, and a time to reflect spiritually and intellectually, and it has helped to challenge who I am."

Dawn is currently Deputy head at St Paul’s Girls School in Edgbaston, Birmingham. She became involved in CATSC through her Headteacher, and is grateful to Angela for that support, and for introducing her to a vibrant and supportive organisation.
