I hope this message finds you all in good health and high spirits. It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I introduce myself as a newly appointed school governor. My name is Gavin Knox and I am honoured to join Deeping St James Primary Board of Governors.

I would like to express my gratitude for the opportunity to serve as a school governor. I bring with me a deep passion for education, a commitment to fostering positive change, and a genuine desire to contribute to the growth and success of our school.

I believe that education is the cornerstone of a thriving society, and that each child deserves the best possible learning experience. As a school governor, I am dedicated to upholding the values and principles that empower our children to reach their full potential and become responsible, compassionate, and well-rounded individuals. I am eager to collaborate with my fellow governors, the dedicated teaching staff, and the wider school community as we work together to shape the future of the school.

Throughout my professional journey of working in education for over 20 years, I have acquired valuable experience in curriculum development, SEN and professional development. I am confident that these skills and perspectives will contribute meaningfully to our governance team's discussions and decision-making processes. I am a firm believer in open communication, active listening, and collaborative problem-solving, and I intend to apply these principles in my role as a school governor. I am excited to learn more about our school's unique strengths, challenges, and aspirations.

I am genuinely thrilled to be a part of this wonderful school community and look forward to meeting and connecting with many of you.
