CRUDGINGTON PRIMARY SCHOOL - Key Persons
I have been a governor of the school since 2008. I was originally appointed as a Local Authority governor but, following the conversion to academy status, I am appointed by the board of the Learning Community Trust. In November 2014 I was elected as chair. I have strong personal links with the school as I was a pupil myself (more years ago than I care to admit) as were other members of my family. I am now retired but I worked for over 30 years for BT in a number of roles but latterly as an IT solutions designer and project manager. I am currently also a trustee and board member for both the Telford & Wrekin Council for Voluntary Service and the Senior Citizens Forum.
I believe strongly in maintaining the inclusive and welcoming ethos of the school whilst at the same time ensuring that we are always seeking to maintain the highest standards of achievement.
I am one of the school's foundation governors. I have been a member of the governing body since 2014, when my daughter was a pupil at the school. I continued as a governor following her progression to secondary school.
I have been a police officer for 28 years, working predominantly as a Detective. This gives me a wide range of experiences and training to draw upon in my role as governor, and consequently I am the link governor for safeguarding.
Crudgington has a friendly and all-inclusive environment, that allows all the children to thrive and develop. I am proud to be part of the team that supports them and the staff, in continuing to improve standards.

I am a Co-opted Governor, having been a Parent Governor before that, and have been on the governing body for about 10 years. I am a father of four, 3 boys and a girl and live in Waters Upton. My eldest two have gone all the way through Crudgington and left for Charlton and Shrewsbury Sixth Form College, the younger two are in Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 1 respectively and my wife, Alaine, has been Chair of the Friends twice and currently volunteers as a Teaching Assistant - so I have good understanding of the school and the Community.
I have mostly worked from home and this has allowed me to make visits to the school - although not as often as I would like. I hope I bring a level of commercial acumen and experience to the Governing Body that compliments the strengths of the other members. I am proud of how the School has developed in many areas over the years that our family has been associated with it, including Governorship, Teaching, Achievement and Community Spirit, and I will continue to work to continue that journey. I am most proud though of the children, how they apply themselves and how they develop as people as they go through the school.
