I am delighted to serve as a parent governor at Newton Abbott College, having always been passionate about supporting young people to achieve their full potential. As a parent of a child in the College, I believe it is vital that all parents have a representative voice in shaping the school’s future, ensuring that the partnership between home and school remains strong.
With 25 years of experience in Sales and Customer Service Management, I bring skills in communication, leadership, and problem-solving, which I hope will add value to the governing body. I previously served as a governor at my child’s primary school for four years, which gave me valuable insight into how schools operate, and the important role governors play in providing both support and challenge to the leadership team.
I have a particular interest in student wellbeing and safeguarding, as I firmly believe that happy, safe, and supported children are best placed to thrive academically and personally. I am excited to contribute to the school’s mission to provide all students with the best possible educational experience, and I look forward to working collaboratively with fellow governors, staff, parents, and students to help the school achieve its vision.
