My name is Helen Redhead and I am a Parent Trustee/Governor. This means that I have been appointed by the parents/carers of the school. I became a trustee/governor in January 2017 and my term of office expires in August 2023. Currently I am Chair of the Governing Body with additional responsibility for data and safeguarding.

I am married and we have one son who is currently in Leopard class. I have been a Primary School Teacher for eighteen years now and prior to going on maternity leave I was a Teacher Governor at the school where I work in West Swindon.

I am passionate about education and feel that we have a responsibility to provide the very best that we are able to for all the pupils of King William Street School. It is a privilege to be able to make a contribution as part of the Governing Body. I hope that my experiences as a teacher will be a help in this task.

My husband and I moved from Cambridge in 2008 so that he could work for a Christian mission charity. We are especially pleased that we are now able to be involved in the life of King William Street School as it holds with our own values and has a special place within the community of Old Town.

My name is Greg Evans and I am a co-opted Trustees/Governor which means that I have been appointed by the trustees/governors of the school.  Currently I am Vice-Chair of the Governing Body and am the named governor for data protection and cyber security. I first became a governor in January 2010.

I am married to Justine and we have four children. In 2007 we took the decision to move our three younger children to King William Street from another local school because we felt there was (and still is) something very special about King William Street. Since then we have both been passionate about the school and its ethos and have done what we can to contribute. That is why I applied to become a Governor in 2010. 

I also run a local computer software company and in my spare time I enjoy long dog walks, collecting music, DJing, photography and I try to stay fit.

I have worked at King William Street CE Primary School for 11 years and beforehand King William Pre-school.  I am totally committed to the school and its ethos which inspired me to change my career into education.  My journey with the school began working as an MDSA to Teaching Assistant and now EYFS teacher. Both my children attended the school and still talk fondly of the time they attended .  I am very proud that they still display the core values installed throughout  the school, allowing me to see both the parent and teaching perspective. I wish to continue to support the core values and  the local community spirit which I live within through the improvement and hard work of all the school staff, parents and wider community.

Recently retired, my working life was in education. I was a secondary school teacher for 27 years, with English as my main subject. I was Head Year and Head of Department in Learning Support. I became a teacher of children with special needs and I was a Special Educational Needs Coordinator. I was particularly interested in supporting children with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia and ASD. The last ten years, I worked within a local authority as Senior Inclusion Officer and manager in a statutory SEN service.  

I believe in the principle of inclusive education entitlement, that every child is special and precious. I want children at King William Street to enjoy learning, to respect and to care for themselves, each other, their environment, and to develop spiritually. I would like our school to continue to be a welcoming place where children feel safe to achieve and to enjoy a stimulating education.
