High School Governors

I am a Freelance Global Human Resources (HR) Director and Consultant, transformation expert and Chartered Fellow of the CIPD and CIPP. Global expertise which has been gained in international roles across different blue chip companies and sectors e.g. health, manufacturing, financial services, professional services and legal. As Chair of the Board I look forward to supporting the outstanding Derby High staff Mr G Jones team in their encouragement of all pupils to thrive academically and socially at each Chair stage of their education. I am also keen to ensure that the Board of (Safeguarding) Governors remains fully informed, has a range of relevant skills and helps to shape and support the Head’s vision for the school.

One of my daughters completed her A Levels in the Sixth Form at Derby High last summer, my older daughter having left following her A Levels in the summer of 2016.

I am a Chartered Civil Engineer with over 20 years’ experience as a project manager in the construction industry. I currently work for the Institution of Civil Engineers, supporting graduate engineers and technicians towards professional qualifications in industry.

I am married to Merryl and my two daughters both attended Derby High, my youngest daughter having recently left following her A Levels in the summer of 2017. I am an active member of St Peters Church, and envisage a strong link between the school and local churches to promote Christianity as the core guiding principle at Derby High School. I have been a Consultant in Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine at the Royal Derby Hospital since 2004. I was elected by my consultant colleagues to represent them as deputy and chairman of the Medical Advisory and Medical staffing committees for 6 years. I have delivered post graduate lectures to theatre and ward staff on a variety of Dr. R J Faleiro topics. I give an annual lecture to undergraduate medical students at the GEM (Deputy Safeguarding) school on pain medicine. I have led and taught on adult and paediatric resuscitation (Education Committee) courses locally, nationally and internationally. Although post graduate education is my area of practice I believe that a desire for life-long learning is conceived and nurtured at school. As a member of the Board I hope to give the staff at DHS the support and encouragement to realise this vision. Co-Opted Governors
