Now in my fourteenth year as a Governor of Honywood Community Science School I’ve been privileged to play a part in the exciting journey that the school has taken over this time. Initially as a Parent Governor and subsequently as an appointed Governor I have had two terms as Chair of Finance and Personnel and in 2016 became Vice-Chair.

I grew up in Coggeshall and after a decade in London my wife and I returned to the town with our young sons nineteen years ago. Both my sons have passed through Honywood and gone on to University. My wife is a teacher at St. Peter’s C of E Primary School.

I’m an IT professional and currently act as Group Chief Information Officer for a private equity backed collection of fifteen businesses which is varied and challenging. In addition to IT I have an interest in business in general and have a Masters in Business Administration which I gained from the Open University Business School in 2002.

As an education journalist, I visit many schools all around the country – and Honywood was one of my favourites long before we chose to send our own sons there in 2016. I admire its rich curriculum and its innovative, learner-led approach, which I truly believe not only supports students towards academic achievement, but also develops them as confident, empathetic and self-motivated individuals, capable of managing their own learning, for life. I also love how the school places such great value on happiness – a priority which can all too easily be lost in today’s high-pressured educational environment.

I am delighted to have been able to join the governing body here; exciting times lie ahead for Honywood, and I’m looking forward to working with my fellow governors, and with the staff and leaders at the school, in order to help continue its story of success.

 Chair of Resources Committee

Steering Committee

I’ve lived in Coggeshall for almost 5 years, having moved from Feering because my partner was too tall for the house I was living in! My daughter went to Honywood School and on to Exeter University where she gained a 1 st in Psychology. I managed a successful business centre for 10 years and am now self-employed working with small local businesses; I also undertake finance and admin work for the Coggeshall Neighbourhood Plan. I have a Masters in Business Administration and my business background is broadly in banking/finance, customer relationship management, property management and administration – skills that will hopefully stand me in good stead in my new role as a Governor at Honywood School. I am looking forward to the challenge and working with my new colleagues in supporting the learning experience for children at the school.

I joined Honywood in September 2009 as a trainee science teacher and have never left since. In my time at Honywood I have filled several different roles including being an SLE in Science, Cohort Leader and Cohort 6 Leader between 2012 and 2016. Currently I am an Assistant Head at Honywood School. In my role as Assistant Head I have responsibility for Safeguarding, the schools Family Learning Team and our current Cohort 7 (intake 2018) among other responsibilities. 

Outside of school I enjoy playing football and supporting my home team – the mighty Middlesbrough.
