Following the invitation to parents to make nominations for the Governing Board, we are pleased to let you know that Shaun Arnold has been appointed to the post of Parent Governor. There was one nomination made for the two vacancies, so a ballot was not required.
Shaun has been a member of the IWEF Governing Board for almost four years as a Co-opted Governor.
Shaun says ‘I have been a governor for nearly 8 years and have been a member of many committees, from finance to quality of education. I was also an active member of the Isle of Wight Education and Children’s Services Scrutiny Panel for 4 years. Being a school governor is a truly rewarding experience. As a school governor, I give back and make a difference to the young people in the school. I have a unique outlook being a person with Aspergers (ASD) and having children with ASD. I believe that every student should have the opportunity to achieve their full potential, and that this can be achieved through high-quality teaching, a supportive environment, and a focus on the individual needs of each student.’
The Governing Board will continue to try to fill the remaining Parent Governor vacancy.
