Governors

Agnes joined the Kingsbury High School Governing Board in 2022 as a Community Governor. She began her career as a secondary school Geography teacher before moving into a range of roles supporting school improvement and leadership development. Her experience includes working with Teach First and as the Associate Director of the Teaching School Hub for Brent, Barnet and Enfield, where she supported teacher training and leadership development across the region. She also serves as a Trustee at Wembley Multi-Academy Trust. 

Agnes now works as a Regional Director at TEP (The Engagement Platform, part of ImpactEd Group), where she supports schools and Trusts nationally to strengthen engagement with pupils, staff, families and the wider community. She was elected Chair of Governors in 2025.

 I am Headteacher at Kingsbury High School and a governor as part of my role. This is my third headship in London, additionally I have also led a small multi-academy trust (MAT) in Hertfordshire. In the past, I have been a governor of a primary school and agreed to become a member of their Trust Board when they became an academy.  Recently I was invited to become a Headteacher Ambassador for the Youth Sports Trust. 

I've been involved with the school for more than 50 years as a student, parent and governor. My career has been in Education and Finance. I was a Deputy Director of Education and I have worked in local and central government on education policy and building schools.

I currently serve as a specialist member of the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal, which means I make decisions about provision for children and young people with special needs and disabilities. 

I am the Chair of the Governing Body and the link governor for Maths and for staff wellbeing.

I am an epidemiologist in the Institute of Epidemiology and Health Care at University College London. My research is in health inequality, and I teach on a Masters course in social epidemiology.

Social statistics, data analysis and interpretation are vital parts of my working life. I was a student at KHS 1964-1971 and have been a KHS governor since 2015. It is wonderful to have the chance to support the school as we all recover from the COVID-19 epidemic, and to contribute to the growing success of KHS.

As a school governor at Kingsbury High School I bring skills in risk management and I chair the Risk and Audit Committee.

​I am a business innovator, digital services practitioner and inventor with over 25 years of experience in technology innovation and product development in the ICT sector. I currently lead a fast-growing, London-based technology startup using advanced techniques in human sensing and AI to help solve difficult, real-world problems for organisations worldwide.

My love of creating new ideas and developing them on the journey from 'blue-sky' concept through to successful thriving business has helped me gain a deep understanding of every aspect of successful organisations and how they make best use of resources to deliver their objectives: the talent of their people, finance, strategies, systems and processes.

I have served the school on the Governing Board at Kingsbury High for around ten years, first starting as parent governor when my children attended and passed through the school, and then later becoming a co-opted governor, with some link governor responsibilities attached to the school's Modern & Foreign Languages Faculty during that time.

I am a CIMA-qualified accountant with over 25 years’ experience in financial governance, operational control, and organisational transformation. My professional background spans both the manufacturing sector and, for the past ten years, the software industry.

My experience in finance has developed from operational roles to a more strategic focus, with a particular interest in supporting organisations through technological change to enhance efficiency, strengthen governance, and enable sustainable improvement.

As a school governor, I am committed to supporting strong financial oversight, risk and governance, and contributing to the long-term success of the school.

I have over 25 years’ experience in finance, with specialist expertise in payroll and pension management. My professional background spans multiple sectors, providing me with a strong understanding of financial governance, risk management, and regulatory compliance. I also have experience in securing sustainable funding, including contributing to bid writing and financial planning within the charity sector.

I joined the Governing Body in 2023 when my daughter was in year 8 at Kingsbury High School and continue to serve while my son is also enrolled at the school. This has reinforced my commitment to the school’s long-term strategic development and accountability all while ensuring the best possible outcomes for all students.

Following the birth of my children, I returned to university to continue studies in Psychology and Counselling. My research area was in invisible disabilities and prejudice towards people with disabilities. This academic background enhances my understanding of mental health and wellbeing and informs my contribution to strategic discussions around pupil welfare, SEND provision, safeguarding culture, and the impact of support services on student outcomes

​I applied for this role as my daughter is in Year 10. As a former student of the school, I believe in its values and wanted to be able to give some time and help to the school. I am a Police Inspector by profession in the partnership and prevention role. I hope that by being on the governing board for the school, I am able to provide a different perspective and insight from the experience I have gained dealing with other schools.
