Mrs S Johnson

Head of School (Infant School)

I am a local lady who has grown up in the area, passionate about our Federation having actually attended both the Infant and Junior Schools as a pupil. After qualifying, I worked in Walsall for 2 years before transferring into Staffordshire. Following working in another school in Staffordshire, I have worked at the Infant School for over 20 years, initially as a class teacher and now as the Head of the Infant School and also a Governor. I believe that everybody should live their dream. By working as part of a fantastic team, I want to provide the children of Chadsmoor with a wide variety of opportunities, giving them the best start possible to develop their skills and their aspiration to do whatever they want to do in their future.

Mr B Gwilt

LA Governor

Hello my name is Bill Gwilt, I’m 53 years old married and live locally. I’m a co-opted health and safety governor. I have many years’ experience working as a senior manager for a local authority. My background is working in sport and leisure and property services in particular and in more recent years facilities management. I’ve been a governor at the Federation over a year now and I’m currently the chair of governors at school in Walsall. I’m a service manager for a small family run educational support company. I manage the facilities management arm of the business including consulting and supporting many schools with their site management, caretaking and cleaning services.

 

Rev N Upson-Smith

Foundation Ex-Officio

I moved here with my family in September 2019 from Northamptonshire. I have a daughter who has recently left Chadsmoor Junior School to high school and a son who is a student at Stafford College. I have been involved in schools in a variety of roles over the past 20 years, as a parent, a Church of England Reader/Lay Chaplain, a community volunteer, a member of staff, a Governor – and most recently as Vicar. I have a particular interest in Christian ethos, Collective Worship, spirituality and Religious Education. I value the opportunity to be part of our school community and am keen to strengthen the relationship between the school, the parish and the wider community. I find reading very relaxing and enjoy a wide range of books – especially historic & military fiction, science fiction, mysteries, biographies, social history and travelogues. I also enjoy making things - although I’m not an expert I can bake, sew, and enjoy trying new crafts or creative activities.

 

Mrs W Smith

Foundation Governor

My name is Wendy Smith -  a Foundation Governor for the School. I am one of a team of four Churchwardens who serve the Parish of Chadsmoor - my particular area of responsibility is Community Engagement.  

 

During my career I spent 10 years as the Secretary to the Managing Director of a local engineering company.  I took a degree in Estate Management and worked for 20 years as a Manager of Shopping Centres within the Black Country.  I then moved into the Public Sector and spent 10 years as an Administrator in the NHS.

 

I have a very close affinity with the School.  My late husband, Edward, was a pupil at the Chadsmoor Juniors when it was a boys school and in recent years my granddaughter, Lily, attended the Infant and Junior Schools before leaving three years ago.  I have seen for myself how good the school is and how committed are the teachers.  Lily was given a sound grounding in education which will help her through life - I consider it a privilege to be given the opportunity - through my work in the Church - to support and encourage these schools as they move forward in the future.

Mrs J Lones-Greaves

Co-opted Governor

Hi I'm Jacqui Lones-Greaves and I have recently been co-opted onto the governing body. 

I am now retired but was a teacher for over 30 years. I taught in Secondary schools but quickly rose through the ranks to become a Head of Year. A large part of that role was in primary liaison with our feeder Primary Schools, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It gave me an insight into the uniqueness of every Primary School I worked with and also helped when settling the new pupils into the routines of a Secondary School. As a Head of Year the pastoral side of the job has always been my favourite aspect, ensuring all students in my care enjoyed a successful and fulfilling time at school. 

I am thrilled to have been given this opportunity to help support the next generation at Chadsmoor Federation Schools in their education.All children should be encouraged to become valued members of the school and eventually our society as a whole. 

I'm looking forward to working with the rest of the Governors and School Leadership Team to ensure the continued success and development of the federation.

Co-opted Governor
