I'm Lou Eddins and I live in Hutton with my husband Rich and our son Dexter, who goes to Hutton Primary. I have really enjoyed being involved in school life as a parent governor for the last two years. I work part-time as a Marketing and Communications Officer at North Somerset Council, specialising in promoting services provided by our People and Communities directorate, which includes public health, housing, children's services including family support, adoption and fostering, plus older people's services. I feel very strongly about protecting and maintaining each school's culture and ethos as we join together to form Kaleidoscope; sharing best practice and maximising our resources while preserving each school's individuality.
