AIRLINE MANAGEMENT AND TEACHING
After three A-levels in History, French and English, Clare went to the University of Southampton to read Theology. She then went to the University of Exeter, gaining a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. She taught at Hardley Secondary School near Southampton for two years and spent two summer holidays working in the USA for Camp America. In 1980 she left teaching to join British Caledonian Airways, initially as cabin crew. She then went into advertising at head office where she became responsible for all advertising in North and South America. During her children's early childhood Clare worked in supply teaching. Once the children were at school, she joined West Kent Education Authority as a tutor enabling school phobics and children with various illnesses to return to mainstream school or to special schools that would meet their specific needs.
