Work - I have worked for the NHS throughout my career mainly at London teaching hospitals, NHS London and for the DoH. I was pleased to be able to introduce skill mix at a national level, including creating consultant Allied Health professional roles. I am now retired but volunteer for a number of roles relating to Health and am Chair of Enfield Town Park.

Governor Experience - I am a member of the Governing body at another primary school with similar challenges and in a very deprived area of the borough. I have been a governor for 8 years and joined when the school was in Special measures. The school is now rated good by OFSTED.

I am the vice chair of the GB and the Chair of Finance and also sit on the academic standards committee.

Hobbies & Interests - I have 2 dogs – a 15-year-old and a 3-year-old three-legged dog. They keep me active although the 15-year-old no longer disappears overnight – I am pleased to report. Other interests include my involvement with Health related issues, also a charity looking to create system change in Enfield (funded by 6 major national charities)- reading and doing puzzles of any sort.

Why I want to join the GB at Suffolks - I was initially approached by a neighbour who suggested I became a school Governor at the first school. I agreed as I thought my previous experience would help the school address some of the very serious challenges. I also, through my health work, was working with the local community and was concerned by the problems the parents and children were facing.

I feel the communities and children need to be offered the best opportunities and this is my reason for wanting to join the GB at Suffolks.

I joined the Governors at Suffolks in 2022 and I am looking forward to working with the team to continue the school’s success in supporting and developing its pupils.

I have lived in Enfield for the last 40 years and worked in University management until I retired. I also volunteer in Enfield libraries and at Enfield Town Football Club and have a season ticket at Spurs.

I believe in the importance of lifelong education to develop opportunities and fulfil abilities and to help us to thrive and enjoy life. Primary schools are key and can make a real practical difference. I will be happy to play a small part in this work at Suffolks.

I spent most of my working life running public houses and involved in facilities management for a hospitality company looking after a portfolio of over 500 properties. I am currently a stay at home dad and am at the school most days. I have lived in Enfield for over 20 years now after moving here for work. I am the father of 3 boys, one of who has started his primary school teacher training, one who has just graduated from Suffolks and one who is starting in the Schools Nursery. I have been a governor for 5 years at Suffolks and am into a second term of 4 years. I am the chairman of the Finance and premises committee, and the governor overseeing Pupil Premium, Health and Safety, PE, and Risk Management. I enjoy reading, going to the cinema, and going to the theatre. I am passionate about sport especially Rugby being a big Saracens supporter.

See you in the playground.

I love working at this school and I am so proud of all that the children and staff achieve here.

I have 3 children. 2 are now at secondary school and 1 is at Suffolks Primary.

It is great having a child at your own school as I see first hand how wonderful the staff are and how much my daughter enjoys learning here.

I have taught in Enfield Schools ever since I graduated from University.

I was the first Advanced Skills Teacher for the Early Years in Enfield and supported many teachers in this role.

I became a Deputy Head in 2010 at Alma Primary, not far from us.

During Lockdown, I started to enjoy gardening and DIY. I hope to continue with this in my free time if I have any!
