Vice Chair - Mr J Ward

Growing up in Bexleyheath and being supported by my schools encouraged me to grow into the person I am today. I have a background in scientific research, but I have transitioned to the educational sector in the past few years. I believe it's of such importance to educate our young members of society about the wonders of science and to encourage the joy of lifelong learning. I became a governor as a way to give back to the local community and contribute in a way I feel most passionate about: supporting our young people during this critical time of intellectual and personal growth.

 

 

Parent - Mrs B Conkova

As a devoted parent of children at the school, I am committed to ensuring a positive experience for all students and improving the school environment. I actively volunteer for various charities and in the school's parent association. My professional and volunteer roles have involved organising events, participating in school fundraisers, and collaborating with diverse groups, honing my communication and teamwork skills. These experiences have motivated me to seek a role on the School Advisory Committee to contribute to the betterment of our educational community.

I am eager to work with committee members, school staff, and parents to address challenges, identify opportunities for improvement, and contribute to the school's strategic planning. Additionally, I am a second-year student in health and social care, reflecting my passion for making a positive impact on people's lives.

I’m a history graduate working on a Master's in political theory, and since middle school, I’ve spent over a decade working to improve diversity and inclusion across academic and institutional spaces. Some of my experience includes helping design more equitable systems for neurodivergent students, representing LGBTQ+ voices in private education, and organizing educational events that amplify underrepresented perspectives. To me, these engagements are not only personal endeavours, but also deeply shaped by my background in philosophy, politics, and history. I believe that inclusion and equity aren’t just about identity; they’re about justice, dignity, and ensuring every person has the opportunity to shape the world they live in for the better. In that sense, I believe that it’s not enough to only fight for causes that directly affect us. A fairer society depends on people being willing to stand up for others by listening, learning, and using their position to open doors for someone else. As a governor, I hope to show students that no matter who they are, their voice matters. I want to show that it’s always possible to fight for a more inclusive and hopeful world and that they, too, can be part of making that happen,
