Meet Our Governors

I am a governor as I want to ensure that every child gets the very best education whilst at school. I am passionate about education and I want to support the school to ensure that it is the best it can be. My children both attended here and thrived due to the variety of opportunities available to them, I am keen to help ensure that it continues to build and develop on its successes.

I have one child at Southam Primary in Year 5 and another who has just left, both of whom have had a fantastic experience at school. I have become a governor as I would like to help support the school in ensuring that all children have the same experience as my children are having. I would also like to help and support the staff and wider school community become an even greater place for pupils to learn and grow. I have a degree in Modern Languages (French & Spanish) and have worked for the last 15 years in Educational publishing. I am enthusiastic and dedicated and look forward to the opportunity of becoming more involved with the school to help further its success.

With two children currently at Southam Primary School, I have been impressed by both the education and experiences that they receive.
As a Parent Governor, I will work with parents, teachers, other Governors and the Headteacher to help steer the continuous improvement needed to provide our children with the best chance of success.

I am delighted to have been appointed as a new co-opted governor at Southam Primary School. As a senior manager at the Department for Education, I am passionate about education and young people. I have extensive experience of working across policy and capital delivery roles, including curriculum and qualifications development. I also previously worked at the Ministry of Justice and the Qualifications & Curriculum Authority. I am committed to working with the school, parents and local community to ensure that all children can achieve to the very best of their ability. 

After my son went to school, I became interested in understanding and supporting the challenges that schools face. I have a background in communications and change management and would like to use my professional experience to support Southam Primary to continue to provide the best education that they can to all children. I work as an Assistant Director at Ernst & Young and am delighted to have been appointed as a Governor at Southam Primary. I live in Leamington Spa and have 3 children, 2 of  whom attend primary school in Leamington Spa, and my youngest at nursery. 

I currently have two of my children attending Southam Primary and am delighted to be taking up the role of governor at the school. I have a strong financial background as an accountant but have spent the most recent years in my career working within HR. I currently work with strategic HR for the Local Authority and during my career here I have also supported Warwickshire schools with all their HR requirements. I am looking forward to working with the school, parents and children in making sure Southam Primary remains an outstanding school. 

I have a son attending Southam Primary School which is how my initial interest in the governor role developed. I want to support where I can, to help the school continue to offer the best possible education and experience for all attending children. My background is in learning and development and change management, so I'd like to use that experience to help the school tackle any challenges and continue to look for opportunities to improve.
