Meet the Governors
Miss K. Boon
As Headteacher, I automatically become a member of the Governing body. Holding meetings and working alongside the elected Governors is a privilege. Our Governors give their time and use their skills wisely to support, challenge and improve the lives of all the children and staff at Swingate School.
Chair of Governors

Staff Governor
Jessica Wilde
"I have worked at Swingate School for 4 years In Year 1 and Year 6 and have loved every minute of it. I strive to make the children’s time at school the best it can be and give them the skills they need to go on and make Swingate proud. I am looking forward to working as a staff governor to move the school forward in its ongoing journey by working as a team in order for the children to believe, learn and achieve."

Chandris Webb
"I moved to Lordswood in 2003 and work in management for the transport sector. I have been a Governor at Swingate for over six years now, initially elected as a Parent Governor having three children attending the school. My children have now moved on to secondary education but I remain an active member of the Governing body and a regular visitor to the school. I enjoy working closely with the staff and Headteacher. I am proud to be part of The Swingate Governing body and look forward to many more active years with the school."
Hannah-Minna Razzak
"I have been a co-opted Swingate governor since December 2015. At present I am a Research Analyst at a digital legal media company in London. I wanted to become a governor due to a genuine interest in education, having members of my family as teachers speak about the primary and secondary school system I wanted to see things for myself. I am the youngest member of the governing body at 23 and think I bring a different perspective which is good for the governing body going forward. I have taken a particular interest in pupil premium spending and its impact recently and hope to continue this going forward."
