Our Governors
Messages from our Co-Chairs' of Governors
It is a privilege to be Co-Chair of Governors with Simon at Graiseley Primary School.
​
I am an experienced governor and have previously been a Chair of governors in another primary school in Birmingham.
Along with Simon's knowledge of the school over many years, I hope to be able to bring some of my experience to support the school's overall development.
​
I am from Northern Ireland originally but have lived and worked in Education in the West Midlands for 22 years. I have two children at primary school currently and my wife is Romanian.
​
I work next door at The Music School so I see and hear the children at Graiseley every day. They are wonderful and deserve the best education we can provide for them.
​
Please say hello if you see me!
