I started my involvement with Bournville school a number of years ago when my own son was a pupil here.
He has now gone on to have a very successful career of his own, but I have enjoyed staying involved with
the school as a governor. I use to work for the local authority but, being retired, I have the flexibility
sometimes to come in to school during the day.
I love the school performances - I believe the quality of what our young people produce in this school is second
to none.
I have been an LEA Governor at the school since 2000. Until October 2009 I worked at the University of Birmingham where I was
deputy Pro-Vice Chancellor and Professor of Criminal Law and Criminal Justice. I remain a Honorary Professor at the University.
Since October 2009 I have taken up a new position as Head of School of Law, Politics and Sociology and Professor of Criminal Law
and Criminal Justice at the University of Sussex. I continue to live in Birmingham with my wife and three children.
I'm a Local Authority Governor at Bournville School. I benefited from a good education, and I
wanted to volunteer as a governor to try and give something back to my local community. I live
locally in Bournville, and I'm employed as Head of Telecoms at the University of Birmingham. My
job has responsibility for the provision of communication systems across a large business, and I'd
like to use this experience to help the school.
I am a parent governor who has two children at the school in years eight and ten. I work at one of
Birmingham's leading hospitals with physiotherapists and as a stroke researcher. I have been a governor
at the school for just over a year.
I have been a Governor at Bournville for several years and am now Chair of the Learner Outcomes Committee
. I have 3 children in the school and I am keen to be involved to ensure that
Bournville is a happy, safe and stimulating place where students can enjoy their learning and are supported
to reach their full potential and develop into rounded, responsible citizens. I work at the University of Birmingham
as a Senior Lecturer in Social Work and am happy to use my expertise in the area of Social Work or Higher Education
to help staff in the great work they do at Bournville.
I have been a parent governor at the school since 2007; my daughter is currently in year 9. I
live close to the school in Northfield, and I work at the University of Birmingham in the School
of Biosciences, where I teach and run a research team studying the effects of stress on organisms.
I'm interested in all aspects of teaching and learning in the school and I am linked to the Science
faculty
I am pleased to have been accepted as a new parent governor. I have been employed as a GP in South
Africa for more than 10 years prior to me training and working as a psychiatrist in the UK, which I
have been doing for the last decade. I am married and have three children, ages 12, 15 and 19. I
believe that my parenting,work and life experiences hold me in good stead to make a positive
contribution to Bournville School in particular, and the community in general.My philosophy centres
around the promotion of basic core life values like respect, tolerance, humility and understanding.
I am a Parent Governor; my daughter is in year 7. I work in Higher Education, teaching Microbiology
and Gene Cloning in the School of Biosciences at the University of Birmingham. I am also the Admissions
Tutor for the Biosciences courses. I am very keen to get young people interested in studying science at
school and beyond and to encourage students from a variety of backgrounds to participate in Higher Education.
I believe that this is very important both for the young people concerned and for the wider economy; as a
nation we need a highly skilled work force.
I am a new parent governor, having moved back into the area this year after a period of 5 years
in West Africa. I am married with 2 daughters and am a primary school teacher by profession. At
present I am a Mission Trainer working for BMS World Mission in the training and preparation of mission
personnel for overseas placements. I am a fluent French speaker and love to plan French holidays by the sea!
I have recently been elected as a parent governor for Bournville School. I have 3 children, one of whom has
just started in year 7. Me and my husband run a successful heating and air conditioning company which has
given me the time and opportunity to be involved in my child's education and learning. I am reasonably new
to the school but I am already impressed with the staff/pupil relationships and how everything is focused on
our children's wellbeing.
I am the Headteacher's PA and Office Manager at Bournville School. I am the Support Staff Governor.
I have worked at Bournville School for 5 years and I am married with 2 teenage daughters.
I have been a Teacher of Design and Technology at Bournville for seven years. I am currently Director of Learning - Creative Arts
Faculty and National Union of Teachers Representative.
I am parent of three children all of whom attended South Birmingham comprehensives (including Bournville School and Sixth Form Centre).
I am currently in my fifth year of teaching having previously worked in private sector management. Having
only been at Bournville since September this year I hope I can approach the task of helping to improve the
school from a fresh perspective.
I take a keen interest in interventions to improve pupil motivation and
attainment, having recently completed an MEd in which I researched the use of VAK Learning Styles, Multiple
Intelligences and Learning to Learn skills.
While a teacher I have also worked for the National Foundation
for Educational Research and for the QCA, experiences which have given me an insight into areas of education
outside schools that I hope will be useful.
I have lived in Selly Oak for almost thirty years now. After training as a science teacher, I have taught in several
Birmingham secondary schools before moving to New College Worcester, a specialist school for students with a visual
impairment. I have a particular interest in ensuring the needs of the students with sensory needs at Bournville are
being supported effectively.
I have lived and worked in Birmingham for thirty years. I became a parent governor when my son was in
Year 7 and served for 8 years. When that term ended I was delighted to be asked to remain part of Bournville
as a community governor. I have been Chair of the Learning Provision Committee and I believe that what is taught is
the most important part of the school.
