I have served as a School Governor
since 1985, initially with the
Thornton le Moor C of E Primary
School, some 3 years as Chairman,
and subsequently with South
Otterington C of E Primary School,
as its first Vice-Chairman. I was a
Parent Governor at the Allertonshire
School for several years, including
a period as Chairman of the Finance
Committee.
I have been a member of the
Northallerton College Governing Body
since 1997 and at various times I
have held the posts of
Vice-Chairman, Chairman of Personnel
Committee and on the Federation
Governing Body I am currently
Chairman of the Improvement
Committee (Northallerton).
I Chair the Joint Curriculum
Committee with the Allertonshire
School.
I am a Chartered Civil Engineer,
employed by the Government to
conduct public inquiries and
hearings into planning appeals and
into infrastructure proposals.
I have been married for over 40
years and my son (aged 30) and
daughter (aged 28) both attended
Northallerton College before going
on to University.
It is my objective to ensure that
the College maintains continued
improvements to the already high
standard of education that it offers
to the young people of the area and
that the transition from the
Allertonshire School at age 14 is
achieved successfully whilst
maintaining the focus on excellent
standards.
