Annie provides student support services for our Mexican students at Culford school who study in the East of England.
Anglo-French parents, a childhood in Indonesia and Tunisia, and education in an English boarding school has given Annie a very international outlook.
Annie has always been interested in language – the way we communicate our ideas, hopes and dreams. She began teaching English as a foreign language whist living in London, and after her family moved to Suffolk, taught French at Fairstead House and Culford Prep schools.
When she left teaching, she wanted to continue to work with schools and children, so educational guardianship for international students is an ideal match.
“I adore working with children. I find them incredibly refreshing and imaginative. It is a privilege to work with them and share a journey in their young lives.”

Katy worked for many years as a qualified social worker, specialising in Safeguarding and Child Protection, Supporting Family & Children in Need, and Adoption & Fostering.
“I am passionate about supporting children who are far from their parents, and supporting parents who are far from their children.”
