Joan Finlay CBE
Joan Findlay is a British subject born in Shanghai, China. After being educated in England she returned to China and worked as a Personal Assistant at the British Consulate. When the Japanese invaded China Mrs. Findlay was seconded to take more than 300 British subjects to Hong Kong, where they were clothed and cared for until they could obtain return passage to Britain. Mrs. Findlay was married in Shanghai and her family lived in Hong Kong until they were transferred to Japan. With their three week old daughter the family sailed on the last boat to Canada and as war had been declared in Europe their route caused them to hit the same typhoon three times, resulting in many broken limbs. From New York, the Findlays were first transferred to Sao Paulo, Brasil, and then to Recife in the north before eventually arriving in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where they lived for many years and where her other three daughters were born. After her husband's death some 15 years ago Mrs. Findlay returned to England.

Marie Sherlock
Teacher Governor

Hello I am Marie and I am a teacher governor at the Hospital School. I come from Ireland and my first job when I moved to London was as a supply teacher for the hospital school. I came for two weeks…..that was 13 years ago. I never knew such a thing existed as hospital education. It is a fascinating and rewarding area of education to be involved in. I have had many roles within the hospital school and been involved in interesting and exciting projects, not least of which are the children and young people I work with. Currently I work part time and am a senior teacher based at the Brompton Hospital site. I am also the UK representative for an organisation called HOPE. This is a worldwide organisation of hospital educators working collaboratively to further the access to education for children with a medical condition.
