I am incredibly proud to say I am Fareham Academy’s Headteacher and excited to be leading the school on its journey, Unlocking Potential and Creating Opportunity for every student and staff member of our team. I have been in education for over 18 years and have experience of leading departments, heading up pastoral care, overseeing outcomes and developing whole school Teaching, Learning and Curriculum. Every school I have worked in has seen strong improvements in results, achievements and student wellbeing. My passion for education has always been to see all children reach their potential no matter their starting points. I am also Chair of the Governors for a primary school and offer support, challenge and encouragement to their Head Teacher. I find it invaluable to understand governance from both sides of the table. As a father myself I fully understand the responsibility we have to keep safe and nurture our students academically and socially, allowing them to flourish as responsible young adults. I am proud to work with the Academies Trustees to ensure we continue to do this.

I am a fully qualified primary school teacher with 10+ years’ experience of teaching with a passion for helping children to get the most out of their time at school. This experience has given me an insight into what is required within an academic setting and all of the problems and last-minute changes within education that need to be addressed. I am a local parent to 4 children, 1 of whom already attends Fareham Academy, with the rest following in the next few years. My children also attend a range of extra-curricular clubs run in the community that are held on the grounds of Fareham Academy. As a former pupil of this school, I am keen to make sure the school remains the heart of the community where all children are proud to be part of the school. Previously, I was a school governor at a local Junior school with extensive experience in the various challenges and expectations of a governor and am now dedicated to my role as a governor of Fareham academy.

I joined Fareham Academy as a member appointed Trustee in October 2020. I attended school and college in the nearby Portsmouth area before moving to London to read Philosophy. I then studied a Graduate Diploma in Law at the University of Law before undertaking the Legal Practice Course and a Masters in Legal Practice to complete my vocational training to become a qualified solicitor. I became a Trustee at Fareham Academy because I am interested in the progression of equality and diversity within education, both locally within the school, as well as in the wider community.

I am a Purchase Ledger Administrator and Credit Controller at Bigneat Limited, Waterlooville which I joined in 2015. I passed my Association of Accounting Technicians exams in August 1998 and became a member in December of the same year. I have had accounting jobs for 33 years, 20 of them in the manufacturing trade. I am the treasurer of St John the Evangelist Church in Fareham. I am a Lieutenant Officer with 1st Wymering Boys Brigade Company, and have been an officer since 1993. I became a school parent governor in November 2000 when my son was in Year 10 because I wanted to help and know about the running of a school, my particular interest being special needs provision, as my son was discovered to have special needs when he was six. When my 4 year term was up I converted to being a community governor as my hearing impaired nephew had joined the school. I became a member appointed governor when the school converted to an Academy. My grandson started at Fareham Academy in 2017 and I also have a great niece in Year 8. My hobbies are cross stitch, lace making and knitting. Every year I spend a week at the Great Dorset Steam Fair which is my yearly holiday.

I currently work at Fareham Borough Council and previously worked at Fareham College as a Learning Support Assistant. I am the SEND/Disadvantaged Pupils Trustee and am a member of The Achievements, Standards and Welfare Committee. I have been a Trustee at Fareham Academy since September 2019 and previously I was a Governor at a local junior School. I am committed to supporting and challenging within my role, to ensure pupils can unlock their potential and create opportunities to fulfil their aims and ambitions.

I’m proud and honoured to have been voted onto the Trustee Board in 2021. I have seen my eldest son thrive and my youngest start his journey at Fareham Academy. I have served on neighbouring junior and infant school governing bodies working in SEN, Child Protection, H&S and Finance areas. I’m an engineering professional working in energy and carbon reduction to get to Net Zero by 2050.

I have worked in the financial sector for over 30 years in various roles, from advisor to analyst and finally into governance and oversight activities for a major high street bank. I have undertaken implementation of new and improved practices within the industry which have come with their own challenges, however I do believe in setting achievable goals and standards. My daughter is currently a pupil at Fareham Academy and I am delighted to be a member appointed trustee, with the ability to assist in shaping the future of the school and provide services to the members to achieve our goals.

I am a qualified primary school teacher with 23 years experience in my career. Following a change of career path in 2020, I now work for Children's Services in the Special Educational Needs department. My daily role ensures schools and other professionals follow legislation and procedures relating to SEN. I also offer support and guidance to schools and liaise with other professionals to ensure that provision is in place to support pupils with SEN.

Aside from my career, I have been a governor at a large junior school for the last 8 years, and was Chair of Governors for 5 of those years. I relish the chance to apply skills learnt from my professional life to support achievement for all to be the best they can be.

I have had my eldest child successfully go through Fareham Academy, leaving with exceptional results. I now have my youngest child currently attending the school and enjoying secondary school life.
