Office Staff
Rebecca joined Woodbridge Primary School in September 2023 after working in a larger Ipswich School for several years as their Office Manager. Her previous career was as a Media Executive at EDF Energy, a big electricity company in London, spending time promoting the company’s profile, dealing with journalists and working on brand campaigns before taking time off to raise her two children.
As the Business Manager, her focus is to try and support the school’s finances to make sure the school has the available funds to support the pupils with all the lovely and vast array of offers that are provided in an amazing environment.
Being brought up in Woodbridge, Rebecca loves spending time with her family and exploring all the different adventures it has to offer as well as volunteering at her local sports clubs to support grassroots development.
