High Wych CE Primary School

I have served terms as both Parent and LA governor. I currently sit on the Curriculum, Finance and Premises committee and am responsible for monitoring the School's provision and implementation of Special Educational Needs (SEND) throughout the school. I spent 23 years in the legal profession before retiring on health grounds, and for the past six or so years my wife and I have been fostering full time for HCC. I am not related to any current school staff or pupils but my wife worked at the school for many years as a TA. Our two boys attended High Wych school, now aged 23 and working repairing and maintaining hydraulic lifts, and the other aged 20, currently reading Biology at Portsmouth University.

I am a parent governor with one child at the school in Reception. My professional background is in finance; I am an Actuary working in the Lloyd's insurance market, currently as an independent consultant. My wife and I have lived in High Wych for the past six years and really enjoy the local community, a key part of which is High Wych School. Having a successful and friendly local village school is something I feel very strongly about and I am delighted to be able to support the school as a parent governor.

I served as a Foundation Governor for High Wych School when I was in the Parish seven years ago . I was trained as a teacher and have worked with adults in leisure courses as well as secondary and primary school students before I was Ordained in the Church of England in 2004. I moved from Birmingham Diocese to be Priest in Charge for High Wych and Gilston with Eastwick  on a short term contract.  I am widowed with three adult daughters and seven  grandchildren. I will serve on SIAMS committee and enjoy coming in to school for Assemblies and I hope to welcome classes into church for various curricular activities.  I am  not related to any member of staff or pupils.
