Jamie Stockwell - Chair of Governors

I moved to Shenley in 2007 and joined the governing body in 2014. I have a son who attended the school for 8 years up to July 2018.  As Chair, I attend all committee and full governing body meetings. I also visit the school on a regular basis to meet with the Headteacher and receive updates on school progress. I strongly believe that every child deserves the best education possible and it is a privilege for me to be able to offer my support to the school community.

I moved to Shenley in June 2021 and joined the governing body in December 2021.  I am a qualified Solicitor with over 6 years experience and currently work as an in-house legal counsel. 

I am keen to support the board of governors with my external knowledge and experience to help the school create a learning environment for the students to thrive. Outside of work I can be spotted walking around Shenley and the surrounding areas with my dog Bobby. 

_______________

I am a (mostly) retired teacher and have worked in both the maintained and the independent sectors and in secular and faith schools, teaching all subjects at primary level. I am strongly committed to helping children achieve their potential. I have three children and six grandchildren and have lived in Radlett for over 30 years. 

_______________

I have a son in Year 3 who is thriving at Shenley School, he motivates me to expect the best for him and the other students. I work as a senior manager in workforce and education for NHS mental health services across North London.  

As a parent governor; I will encourage us to always put children’s wellbeing at the heart of everything we do. I will listen to parent’s / carer’s views and aim to present a balanced perspective on key issues.

 My professional experiences include leadership development, education design, and sitting on boards such as safeguarding and quality improvement, for services in the NHS. I have a degree in Psychology and post graduate degree in strategic human resources. I have been actively involved in national apprenticeship development and university level curriculum development.

I hope to ensure I can have a positive influence on our children’s education and to be a positive and active member of the parent governor board.

I qualified as a teacher at St Mary’s University College Twickenham, London in 2010 and have worked at Shenley Primary School since 2013. I have taught across Key Stage 1 and EYFS during that time and I am currently interim KS1 and EYFS lead and SENCo (special educational needs co-ordinator). I also lead History and Geography across the whole school. I have seen many changes at Shenley over the past 10+ years and I look forward to supporting the school moving forward into its next chapter as a member or staff and as a member of the governing body.  

Having recently retired from a long career in the commercial world I am looking forward to being a Governor at the school. My working life was spent in a variety of healthcare companies in sales and marketing related roles, and I hope to make good use of my experience to help build a vibrant, nurturing, and safe environment for young people to learn in.

I have been involved with Young Enterprise for over 10 years as a business advisor. They are a national charity that operate in senior schools to motivate young people to succeed in the changing world of work by equipping them with the work skills, knowledge and confidence they need.

I have two grown-up children and am a first-time grandfather. I have recently taken up pottery, am a very keen gardener and amateur photographer. These hobbies and a passion for travel are now taking up much of my time.

I have worked at Shenley Primary School since 2014. I live in Shenley and my 2 children attended the school when they were younger. I am proud to be part of such a nurturing and caring school and I am so grateful to now to be able to support our children and families, just as my children were supported during their time here.
