I am a qualified teacher, having taught at both primary and secondary level as an Advanced Skills Teacher. For the last 9 years, I have taught at university level in Initial Teacher Education, teaching and preparing hundreds of students each year to embark on their primary school teaching careers. I have an excellent understanding, therefore, for how good learning and teaching can transform the lives of our children and how important it is that the school community pulls together to make this possible. I also have a background in finance from ten years spent in the City.

Helen Gibbon

I have strong family ties to Iver and the community. I have spent in excess of 20 years in the banking industry and have a wealth of knowledge relating to compliance, effective management of time, people and implementing systems to being about successful change.

As a parent myself I understand the concerns and priorities that parents have regarding their child's education and welfare, both of which I feel I can provide a positive contribution towards in making a child's early years of education a positive experience.

I look forward to assisting in making Iver Village Infant School a successful part of the community.

Before I started my small company I worked for a number of large corporates including Inmarsat & BT and have been in the telecommunications business pretty much the whole of my career.

Parent Governors

Alison Major

(Behaviour and Attitudes Committee)

I have lived in the local area all my life and I attended the school many years ago and my son is currently in Year 2. Being a parent governor enables me to play a greater part in the school for the committed staff and young achievable children.

The skill sets that I can contribute are legislative compliance, contractor management, insurance types and levels, process and culture changes, finding resolutions, financial forecasting and budget tracking which I am excited to bring to the Schools Governing Board.

Bushra Razzeque

(Quality of Education Committee)

I have been a qualified teacher for 8 years, having graduated from the Institute of Education with a PGCE in Business and Economics Education. I am a mother of two boys, my eldest currently in attendance at Iver Village Infant School. I believe that being a parent allows me to understand the needs of children first and foremost. I also understand that this must be balanced with the difficult and challenging task of running a school. I would like to use my teaching background to help with this practical implementation.

My mentality and passion for teaching has always come from a “children first” viewpoint and I hope to continue this in my role as parent governor, and be able to help achieve the full potential of the school.
