I have been a governor at Hall Green School for over a year.  My son is currently in year 10 – I have always wanted to take a more active role in my son’s education.  I believe this is the ideal time for me to be more involved after my experience with home schooling throughout the COVID 19 pandemic.  I take an active interest in my son’s academic needs to stay up to date with local and national developments within education.  I currently work as a psychiatric liaison Nurse, we work closely with forward thinking Birmingham and the children CAMS service, which would be useful skills experiences I can share.

 Parent Governor, Pastoral and Curriculum Committee

I have been a governor at Hall Green School for 8 years.  I have three children, who have all successfully achieved fantastic results at Hall Green School.  However, I recognise that it is not simply about academic results and attainment so for this reason, I became a parent governor to bring some diversity to the governing body and to offer alternative viewpoints. I am an advocate for all pupils and believe that challenge and accountability are crucial to the successful running and management of any school.

Community Governor, Pastoral and Curriculum Committee

The reason I joined as a Governor of the School was due to living in the area and understanding the challenges of young youths of this day of age.  My son also went to the same school and achieved fantastic results and I felt a duty of care to support the school in the time we are living with drugs and bullying at its peak.  My knowledge of the area and parents who live in the area will support the school on how to communicate effectively.

 Community Governor, Finance and General Purposes Committee

I have been a Governor for Hall Green School for over 2 years.  I am passionate about pupils being instilled with good values and opportunities to be the best version of themselves.  I would like to see the best possible outcomes for all pupils.  Hall Green School is very much my second home and the community is a great family to belong to.  I would like to contribute to the ongoing and future success of the school.

Staff Governor, Pastoral and Curriculum Committee

I have been a Governor for Hall Green School for 3 years.  The reason I became a governor is that Hall Green is a great school and the staff do an amazing job.  I wanted an opportunity to work with them in providing the best education to young people.

Chair of Governors, Parent Governor, Chair of Finance and General Purposes Committee

I have been a Governor at Hall Green for 11 years.  The reason for becoming a governor was most importantly, as a mum to four great children, I know how important school is and that young people only get one chance at their school life.  I am therefore passionate about every child’s’ right to a high- quality education both in school time and beyond.  Being a governor allows me to contribute to my local community using my educational strengths. Being a governor is my way of volunteering and providing service to my community.

Vice Chair of Governors, Pastoral and Curriculum Committee

I am a new Governor at Hall Green School.  In 2021-2022 I decided to take a career break to study for an MA in Education (Leadership) at the University of Birmingham. This experience has broadened my knowledge from beyond the classroom and middle leadership into the global and national policies which shape the reality of education in the UK at the moment.  Furthermore, it has cemented my commitment to work to reduce the level of social and economic deprivation in our society, but specifically in Birmingham.  I would therefore like to offer my knowledge and hands on expertise to the governing body of Hall Green School.

 Community Governor, Finance and General Purposes Committee

I have been a Governor at Hall Green School for over 4 years.  I love the inclusivity and individuality of Hall Green School.  The school believes in the best outcomes for all its students and will promote these at all times.
