Co-Chair of Governors
Vice Chair of Governors
I have been a Parent Governor since September 2021.
Having both my children attending the school, Holy Trinity and the local community have been part of our everyday life for the last few years.
My professional background is in finance and accounting. My day job is helping corporates manage their treasury and commodity related risks. I am also passionate about caring for people and I manage the learning and development of my team, support my colleagues as a career coach and actively work on improving diversity and inclusion at my workplace.
Using my experience I am keen to support the school to provide a caring and stimulating environment for the children.
Chair of Business Committee
First and foremost I’m a parent of a child attending the school so I have a vested interest in the key priorities, management, and governance of the school. I am an active member of the Holy Trinity community and hope to extend my contributions specifically to Holy Trinity Primary School. Since 2018 I have volunteered as Clerk to the Business Committee, and subsequently extended as Clerk to the STL and CFC Committees at Holy Trinity, prior to becoming a Governor in 2021.
Professionally, I work as a commercial manager, and therefore have excellent numerical, analytical, and problem solving skills, coupled with effective decision making and negotiation skills.
Chair of Faith Team
I was voted in as a parent governor in 2021. I have three children, two of which are still at Holy Trinity. Since joining the school family nearly 10 years ago I have had the opportunity to support the children and their families in many different projects and activities. Currently I am chair of the faith team which helps to guide our christian ethos throughout school life and ensure we are supporting each of the children in their faith journey.
I am passionate about making our community a more inclusive place by bringing people together and helping individuals and families’ wellbeing. Our school is a hub for the local community and I want to make sure that each individual who attends feel like they belong and are valued as part of that community.
Governor and Treasurer
I am a Foundation Governor appointed by the Diocese of Southwark in September 2018.
In my role with the Governing Board I am a member of the Business Committee and also undertake Treasury responsibilities, whilst my professional background is in HR and facilities alongside property investment and portfolio management.
I have been involved with Holy Trinity since 2012, initially through my children's attendance. My interest in working with the Governing Body remains driven by the opportunity to support the School in providing an inclusive, nurturing learning environment where both staff and children feel motivated and individually valued.
Ex-Officio Governor, Safeguarding Lead
I am delighted to be an ex-officio governor by virtue of my role as the Team Rector of Merton Priory Team Ministry, based mostly at Holy Trinity Church. I am also a governor at The Priory and I enjoy visiting both schools on a regular basis to lead assemblies.
Schools are places of learning and yet so much more; in different ways, akin to a family or a church, fundamental building blocks of a happy, just and holy society, such as our commitments to care for the creation and to work for racial justice.
Governor, Health and Safety Governor
I was delighted to be appointed as a Foundation Governor in May 2023, having regularly attended Holy Trinity Church South Wimbledon with my wife, initially, and then my two young children. The local community has given so much to me and my family, and I wanted to contribute in return.
As the son of a teacher/headteacher and a churchgoer, I have a deep passion for both education and the instillation of Christian values within school pupils from an early age. My children are also not yet of school age, so I have the benefit of looking at the school's priorities, management and governance through an objective lens.
Professionally, I work in investment banking and so bring extensive experience of financial analysis and budgeting tto my roles as Governor and member of the Business Committee.

Governor
It's an honour to be a Foundation Governor at Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, commencing September 2024. I embrace the opportunity to help the school thrive and to help enrich the lives of our children and young people, as well as the wider community of the school and church.
My professional experience of 15+ years in national and international sport can provide expertise in multiple business functions including technology, safeguarding, HR and technology - particularly aimed at children and young people."
