Last night was an incredibly exciting time for me as the new Chair of Governors for New Brompton College. I had the privilege of attending the Achievement evening and seeing the enthusiasm and the joy of the students was just wonderful.

I’ve been involved with this school for years and it is really obvious to everyone that over the last 5 years in particular standards have been improving year on year. The credit for this rightly goes to the head teacher, the staff and the students as this was stated clearly last night – as was the fact that for the first time ever we an over-subscribed school with a waiting list. It’s good to see that the community is realising how good the school is as well.

For me – it was great to see young lives full of potential starting to realise that they can achieve that potential.

Although much of my stuff that I have done for years will need to stop when I am ordained, I am looking forward to how I can continue to support the school as chair as governors as they move into exciting times.
