Governors

Personal Statement:

I have had a personal connection with Cannon Lane for over 17 years, but have also been a proud parent of the school since 2014, when my children started attending. During this time I have had the privilege of serving as Chairman of the Friends; Cannon Lane’s Parent & Teacher Association, and becoming a parent governor in late 2017.

I am committed to supporting the school as it continues to deliver high quality education while also relying on my board-level experience to provide strategic leadership and accountability to further raise standards.

Personal Statement:

I am a proud parent of two daughters at Cannon Lane Primary School. I have a professional background in construction (project management) which spans over 20 years. Educating fast growing children is not easy and I am keen to maintain a positive and constructive partnership for the sake of the children at Cannon Lane Primary School.

I look forward to working with the school as a governor and seeing the school continue to flourish.

Personal Statement:

I have two daughters at Cannon Lane and have thoroughly enjoyed being involved with the school since 2011. I am a Harrow resident and I have worked for London Fire Brigade for 19 years, currently at Watch Manager level.

I believe that any organisation works best when rigorous checks and balances are in place, and I am fully committed to ensuring the governing body works in the best interests of its pupils and parents. I look forward to representing the views of parents during my time as governor, and to working with the school to maintain the high standard which Cannon Lane has held for many years.

I am part of the Premises, Health & Safety Committee, and also have a keen interest in the performing arts and science.

Personal Statement:

I joined Cannon Lane Primary School in September 2014, as a year 6 teacher and I was appointed as an Assistant Head teacher in February 2015. Prior to working at Cannon Lane, I was head of Year 5 and 6 at another large Harrow school. I have now been teaching for 17 years, which has enabled me to develop a deeper understanding about the needs of children and ways in which they learn to understand the world around them. In my role as a governor, I hope to be able to share my experience as a teacher to help create more exciting opportunities in school and strengthen the relationship between children, teachers and parents.

Personal Statement:

I joined the Governing Body in January 2016 and am delighted to be able to support the work of the school. I am committed to quality educational experiences for young people and the support for those who work with them. In my role, I draw on my experiences of working in the Department of Education at Brunel University London and, prior to that, in five secondary schools. I am chair of the Curriculum and Community Committee. I am also the link governor for the Early Years Foundation Stage, Religious Education, Social, Moral, Social and Cultural Development, Personal, Social and Health Education, and Sex and Relationships Education. As a parent of two children who have been very happy and successful at the school, I am committed to its ongoing success as an exceptional place for education.

Personal Statement:

I have had the privilege of being a parent governor at CLPS since November 2013. I have also been the designated safeguarding governor for this time period and I am currently the Special Educational Needs & Disability Governor. 

My other responsibilities have included being the lead for pupil premium, chair of the curriculum and community committee and science link governor.

I enjoy my role in ensuring that high standards of learning are delivered and look forward to supporting the further development of the school as it grows.

Personal Statement:

I have been a Governor, initially at Cannon Lane First School, and now as a Co Opted Governor at Cannon Lane Primary School for 10 years. My 2 sons are both ex pupils. I am glad that I have had the opportunity to use my finance skills and experience to help towards maintaining and improving the excellent standards already set by the school. I am hardworking and enthusiastic about all the new challenges governance may bring.

Personal Statement:

I am a Co-opted Governor, having joined the Governing Body in 2009 as a Parent Governor. I have three children (two who are still at Cannon Lane) and so have a great affection for the school. I believe a good Governor plays the role of a 'critical friend' - striking a balance between being supportive of the Head Teacher and the school, but at the same time providing challenge and ideas and ensuring the children remain the primary focus of all our decisions.

Personal Statement:

I am the Deputy Headteacher at Cannon Lane Primary School and have been since the start of this academic year. Prior to this I was Assistant Headteacher with one of my key responsibilities being leading Key Stage 1. I currently am the designated safeguarding lead at school. I have enjoyed getting to know pupils, staff, parents and members of the wider community. I am proud of our achievements so far and I look forward to working together in the future to build on these successes and to make more happy memories.
