After a career in sales and marketing, Patrick took up his first post as a School Business Manager in a mainstream Primary school. After 6 years working in Primary, he moved to Brookfields in 2019.

In his setting, he has responsibility for Finance, Premises, ICT, HR, Health & Safety and Administrative functions of the school. Although challenging and exhausting, Patrick loves his job and feels passionate about improving the life chances of those with additional needs. Patrick is also currently studying part time, but when he does have some down-time, he like to indulge in model building, DIY, an interest in aircraft, ships and cars, and going to live music events with his family.
