Governance roles in other schools
Why did you become a Governor?	To give something back to Albright who home tutored my daughter when she was too ill to attend mainstream school.	To be the representative for all staff at Albright Education Centre.	I was interested in pursuing a voluntary role that would combine my experience in health and education while allowing me to develop my skills in governance.	To support the Centre.	I wanted to support a provision that I have seen working for the benefit of our Sandwell students and give better life chances for those pupils who face barriers to overcome.	I am passionate about young people being given the best possible opportunities to succeed. I have worked closely with Albright in my current role and I truly value the incredible work that they do. It seemed like a wonderful opportunity to support the young people, families and staff that use the Centre.

I am a keen sports fan although I'd perhaps better not mention my team!
How can you help the Centre?	As Chair of Governor's I am keen to provide appropriate guidance, support and challenge for governors, staff and parents. As a previous parent governor I have direct experience of the difficulties faced by pupils and am keen to help support parents.	Provide the link between staff and governors and provide information and advice from a teaching perspective.	I can provide advice and support in relation to health issues that concern the school.	Experience of educational issues.	I have an extensive knowledge of the difficulties faced by young people in the area. I strongly believe that I can help the Centre ensure that the right pupils are receiving the right support.	I can help by bringing the perspective of a local school that work with Albright. I also attend meetings with Sandwell schools every three weeks and can add that perspective to discussions.
