Paul Sutton

I have worked at Rolls-Royce for 18 years, currently as a Business Manager, managing cost optimisation for mutual benefit within long term contracts.

I have seen the fantastic opportunities and learning this school offers. I’m keen to support, utilising my experience and passion, helping continue to drive the school forward. 

I enjoy cycling, camping and DIY. I hope these practical skills combined with varied working experience allows me to really support the school. Although my role is corporate, I’m incredibly passionate about making a difference and giving something back to the school.
