Mrs Catherine Ward - Chair (previously co-opted)

 

I am honoured to have taken on the role of Chair of Governors and excited about the opportunity to support our school community. While I am new to the role and mindful of the challenges ahead, I am fortunate to be working alongside a dedicated team of governors whose experience, commitment and support will be invaluable.

My connection with Hadfield Infant School began as a parent when my daughter attended the school. I am delighted to now have the opportunity to contribute to its continued success as Chair of Governors.

Professionally, I am a qualified accountant with decades of experience working in the public sector. I hope to bring the skills and knowledge I have gained throughout my career, together with the insight I have developed during my three years as a governor, to help me navigate the opportunities and challenges of this new role.

I believe openness, honesty and good communication are at the heart of effective governance. By working collaboratively, providing constructive challenge and listening to different perspectives, we can make informed decisions that support the best outcomes for all our children.

As Chair, my role is to help ensure the governing body remains focused on its strategic responsibilities, monitoring progress against our priorities and keeping our shared vision at the centre of everything we do. I look forward to working with staff, governors, parents and the wider school community as we continue to support the success, wellbeing and development of every child.
