Benfield Primary School

I've lived in the Hove/Portslade area nearly all my life. It's probably not often that the term is used with reference to a Primary school, but in this instance, it seems appropriate as I am myself Hangleton "Alumni". I joined the Governing board in 2017 as a parent Governor. As a parent I was keen to play my part in ensuring that the best interests of the customers of the Federation, the pupils, were looked after. By day I'm an IT consultant and have 25+ years' experience within the Financial Services sector. Whilst education is not my chosen specialist subject, my industry experience allows me to bring an alternative perspective to the table. By night I'm a keen musician, playing drums in a couple of local bands. Obviously one day soon I'll be giving up my day job to become a rock star, but that won't impact on me being able to fulfil my responsibilities as a Governor.
