I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as one of the Parent Governors. My wife and I have been residents of the local area for 15 years and since my son (aged 5) joined Heathcote Primary School I have been keen to support the school in its development. I joined the Board of Governors in late 2019 and continue to be impressed by the community focussed aspect of school life.
For the past 3 years I have worked as a Head of Department for the local Further Education College having previously been a Head of Curriculum and Class Teacher in a Secondary School in Birmingham. This experience of education can be invaluable however no two schools are the same especially when they cater for different age groups.
I hope to be able to help the school to continue to thrive especially as the school and local area are growing. It is a very exciting time for our children and the school.
Mr Ian Ward
Community Governor and Vice Chair
I have been a Community Governor since 2020 and Vice Chair since 2022. I have been in a resident in the local area all of my life so I have a keen interest on how the school can develop and thrive in collaboration with the local area. I have a strong background in technology and leadership having worked for a large multi-national company for over 20 years. I'm passionate about providing pupils with the best possible learning environment and eager to support our dedicated leadership team and staff at Heathcote as much as possible.
Mr Ben Moses
Community Governor
I’ve been a Community Governor at Heathcote Primary School since 2018 and held additional responsibilities for Safeguarding since early 2019. I’m keen to ensure that every child has a safe and engaging environment where they can learn and grow. In my professional life I’m an Enterprise Solutions Architect for Amazon Web Services (AWS) and I get to use many of my professional skills to enable the school to grow and excel. I have a background in Science, Maths and Computing so will be looking to work with the school to volunteer my skills wherever I can.
