Celebrating National School Governors Awareness Day

Overview

This week, we proudly celebrate National School Governors Awareness Day, a time to acknowledge the incredible contributions of school governors who dedicate their time, expertise, and passion to shaping the future of education. At Derventio Education, we are fortunate to have a team that not only drives innovation in educational technology but also plays a vital role in governance, ensuring that schools provide the best opportunities for students and staff alike.

About

Our team members who serve as school governors bring invaluable insight and commitment to their roles, demonstrating their dedication to education beyond their work at Derventio Education. We would like to take a moment to recognise their exceptional contributions:
  • Stuart Reece, CEO of Derventio Education and Chair of Governors for Derby Pride Academy, plays a crucial role in supporting the academy’s leadership, fostering strategic growth, and ensuring high standards in education. His leadership and vision help create an inclusive learning environment where students can thrive.
  • Jon Martin, Chief Technology Officer for Derventio Education and Joint Vice Chair at Belper School and Sixth Form Centre, brings a wealth of technical expertise to the table. His insight helps drive innovation in the school’s digital strategy, ensuring students and teachers have access to the best technological resources for learning and development.
  • Andy Goodeve, Training & Implementation Consultant and Vice Chair for Mosley Primary Academy, is responsible for managing and organising the committee, serving as the curriculum coordinator (covering both curriculum and wider curriculum), and overseeing Pupil Premium/Looked After initiatives. His dedication helps foster a nurturing and high-achieving learning environment for young students.

School governors play a vital role in shaping the educational landscape. They support school leaders, challenge and drive improvements, and make strategic decisions that impact staff and students. Their voluntary commitment is the backbone of school development, ensuring that every child receives the highest quality education.

 

At Derventio Education, we are incredibly proud of our team members who go above and beyond to make a difference. Their work in governance not only strengthens our connection with schools but also ensures that we remain closely aligned with the needs of educators and students.

As we celebrate National School Governors Awareness Day, we extend our gratitude to all school governors across the country for their tireless dedication to education. Your work truly makes a difference!
