I have been a parent governor since 2013 my daughter is a student in a SLD (Severely Learning Disabled) class at the school.
I have always been very proactive in helping parental views to be heard and am a long time member of the Ealing Parents Carer Forum speaking out on issues that effect our young people and their families on local authority steering groups and at consultation meetings.
The school and teaching team are constantly evolving to meet the needs of the students and recognise the fact that parents, carers and families are an important part of our students life time learning, so for me, being a Governor allows me a closer link with the school and the chance to support them whilst keeping a parental view at the forefront of the governing body decision making.
