Governance

Introducing our Governors:

Mark Westwood - Chair of Governors

One of the main reasons why I became school governor is to provide strategic direction for the school including being a critical friend to support the work of the school headteacher and challenge where necessary. I'm passionate about ensuring that every young person receives an excellent education, and I'd like to believe that the decisions I've made have had a positive and long-term impact. I have a great deal of business knowledge in the education sector, having worked in it for the majority of my career. I currently manage a tender’s department that focuses on improving young people's outcomes and I'm continuing to build on my experiences in order to improve my skills, pass them on to others, and have a positive impact on the students at North Bromsgrove High School.

Nick Gibson is the proud Headteacher at North Bromsgrove High School having joined in September 2018. Please view his profile on North Bromsgrove High School & Sixth Form - Your Senior Leadership Team

Libby Winer - Staff Governor

Richard Shutte - Co-opted Governor

"I am a a Risk Manager for Deutsche Bank. I have watched the tremendous turnaround of the North High School under Mr Gibson and his exceptional teaching staff and as a parent, I would like to get involved to further drive the strategic vision and objectives of the school.  I would like to invest some of my time in supporting the school on its journey to obtaining an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rating, which in my view can only be achieved by a collective effort of both teachers and parents, to ensure the highest possible standard of education for our children"

Alana Warburton - Co-opted Governor

"I have 6 years teaching experience within the primary sector; working both as a class teacher and on a supply basis. Prior to this I was a Teaching Assistant and then a Learning Mentor. This has given me a breadth of experience within education. I also have a keen interested in working with and supporting students with SEND having worked in a number of settings with specialist provisions for those with additional needs.  I am passionate about education; specifically ensuring that all children have the ability to achieve their full potential regardless of any barriers to learning that there may be."

I have over 30 years’ experience working in a large law enforcement organisation. And over four years as a senior leader.  I have specialised in Public Protection for over six years and three years in Professional Standards- focussing on the conduct and standards of behaviour of employees.  I have led on internal marketing campaigns on Domestic Abuse, Stalking and Harassment. More recently, I was project lead on an internal training programme on sexual harassment and sexual abuse in the workplace, which I developed with specialist partner agencies.  I have experience in change management and budgeting programmes with focus on efficiency savings, whilst maintaining effective service delivery.  As parent governor, from a parent perspective, I have transferable skills which I can bring into the education setting around safeguarding, pastoral care, accountability, performance, service delivery, collaboration, and people management.  I am delighted to be accepted onto the Governing Body of North Bromsgrove and become part of the North Family.
