I have over five years experience of being a parent governor previously with Shoreham First School & Buckingham Community Middle School. I was the Chair of the Temporary Governing Body that helped make all the arrangements for the merger of Buckingham CMS & Kingston Buci First School to create Buckingham Park Primary School.

I am delighted to be the Chair Of Governors for our school working with a team of governors dedicated to supporting & challenging the school to achieve the very best for the children. I have already had three children go through Buckingham.

I am lucky that my employer HSBC supports me with time off to carry out my governor duties & I get into school at least once a week. At HSBC I look after a team of 43 people serving some of our smaller business clients & I like to think that a number of the skills that I use in my working life are transferable to helping out in the school environment.

I am a huge fan of Shoreham as a place to live & am very pleased to be able to get involved in such an important part of our community.

I have been a governor for over ten years now at three schools, two junior and one senior. Over this time I have found the whole experience demanding, challenging, but most of all enjoyable. I work for BAA Ltd who operate seven airports in the UK.

My background is in Engineering, Electronics and IT systems, over the years with BAA I have had a number of key team roles. Based at Gatwick and Heathrow looking after the systems infrastructure across BAA, this means travelling around all the airports regularly.

I really enjoy helping in the school environment, the areas where I can add most value to the school are in finance, premises and organisation. It’s nice to be able to give something back to the school in these very important areas.

Since becoming a school governor in 2008, I have become heavily involved in the premises side of the school where my past property management skills are fully utilised and appreciated. Balancing the schools statutory requirements along with the needs of the children means the budget is always a challenge!

In the outside world, I am a mother of 2 with 1 child currently attending Buckingham and another who left last year. I work for a London property consultancy business as a surveyor specialising in aviation. My role takes me to all the UK airports where I represent aviation companies on all property related matters.

I have a busy life, but enjoy my role as governor. It's good to be involved and feel that you are giving something back to the school and most of all making a difference to the environment where your child spends such a high proportion of time.

I joined the temporary governing body in 2008 and for the past year I have been a Parent Governor for Buckingham Park Primary School. My younger son is currently in Year 3 and my eldest son also attended the School before moving on to Shoreham Academy.

I am a chartered town planner and work for Brighton & Hove City Council. I have been involved in the development of a number of major development projects in the city and have a great enthusiasm for promoting sustainable design and architecture.

I have enjoyed being a governor and have been greatly impressed with the commitment of all those involved in the school’s success.

I chair the Staffing sub-group and attend the Resources Committee.

As a parent with sons in Years 1 and 2, I was always keen to be involved with the school and being a governor has given me that opportunity.
It is fascinating to have an insight on the many aspects of running the school. I feel privileged to be able to provide input and support where needed. I am keen to see Buckingham Park Primary continue to develop as an excellent facility for teaching young children in our area.
As well as being a parent, I am self-employed as a Personal Trainer. My expertise in health and fitness is utilised by the Healthy Schools Initiative. I am on three committees: Resources, Travel Planning and Premises. I also enjoy working on FOBS.

I have been a parent governor for 3 years and was part of the temporary governing body which helped form the new Buckingham park primary school. I thoroughly enjoy the challenge of being part of the development of our school and enjoy seeing it go from strength to strength as it evolves.

I have worked for over 20 years in the banking industry and have been involved in training, project development and now customer advising.

I sit on the Quality and Standards sub committee, PTA and healthy schools working party.
