    Bianca Donald

    Bianca has taught in Uttlesford schools since 2004 both in Stansted and Hatfield Broad Oak. During Covid she provided online tutoring to support pupils. She understands parents’ frustration as education budgets have been slashed and school choice eradicated.

    “In over 20 years teaching, I have taught many of the children in the Stansted area. Our councils need to work hard to provide facilities and jobs to keep young people here or attract them back when they start work.” – Bianca Donald

    Outside of her career Bianca coaches grassroots women’s sports and loves our countryside.

    Bianca cares about our next generation. She has taught in Uttlesford schools since 2004 both in Stansted and Hatfield Broad Oak. During Covid she has been providing online tutoring in mathematics. She understands parents’ frustration as education budgets have been slashed and school choice eradicated by Essex County Council.

    “In over 20 years teaching, I have taught many Stansted area children. I’ve seen how for decades the government’s education strategy has been failing our youth and community. We need a strong voice for Uttlesford youth issues.” – Bianca Donald

    Bianca coaches grassroots women’s sports. For several years she served on the committee of the Bishops Stortford District Netball League. She currently plays for, manages and coaches a local team. She loves the countryside and feels we must be ‘careful custodians of our environment’ and feels through R4U she can make Uttlesford a place that cares for its residents, local environment and businesses.
