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'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 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 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.

​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.

​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 an Associate Professor at Middlesex University Business School. I hold a Doctorate of Philosophy from Southampton University (Risk Management) and I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I am also a Fellow of the Chartered Insurance Institute and an Associate of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators. As a practitioner I have had a number of years of experience as an International Risk Manager and Underwriter based in London and Sweden and working closely with Financial Services organisations and governments internationally. Also, I have held visiting professorships at a number of European universities and in India. I am currently an invited member of Financial Services Innovation Centre in India which has board level representation from insurance companies, finance organisations, stock market and professional bodies. Furthermore, I have also held non-executive/independent directorships of a UK Housing Association and a Financial Services Professional Body in the City of London and on their board of the Professional Standards and Ethics committee.

I also have significant external affiliations as a liveried member of the Worshipful Company of Insurers where I contribute towards school leavers and graduates seeking placements and industry roles in the financial services arena and in knowledge transfer.

As an academic, I remain active in research, academic management and leadership.  I am also an author, having written a book on Marketing of Financial Services and contributed to other books on risk management, micro-finance and vulnerable households.  Collaborating with two other universities and in receipt of an ESRC grant, we published in 2019, a Handbook on Small Business Social Responsibility: Global Perspectives (Edward Elgar)

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