Geoff Rutherford

Having worked in primary education for over 40 years both as a class teacher and a headteacher I have a keen interest in seeing children flourish and am excited at the prospect of being able to support LEAF as it works with the young people in the town. Away from school I have led the Baptist church for nearly 20 years and am delighted that this has afforded me the opportunity to serve as an ex-officio trustee.
