Having her three children educated at Baimbridge and all leave with successful pathways - Employment, University and Apprenticeship - Jill believes that state schools are fundamental for our democracy and equality of opportunity and that no child should be denied access to a solid education because of their family's wealth, perceived social status, religion or ethnic background.
