In 1982 she went to Brasenose College, Oxford and left with a degree in Geography in 1985, and was also awarded two rowing Blues. She was the first person in her family to stay on at school beyond the age of 16 and as a result, is passionately committed to ensuring all children receive the best possible education that can be provided.
