Academy Council

I look forward to challenging and encouraging Culloden to become a school that embraces, promotes, and instils in every child a Growth Mindset, an idea developed by Dr Carol Dweck. I want every child, regardless of their academic performance, to learn to challenge themselves, embrace their mistakes as part of the learning process, value the importance of effort, and understand they can (‘grow their brain’) develop and improve their intelligence and learning. This mindset change will not only help the children to achieve now, with the school, but also in their future education and later as adults. 

I am very pleased to have been elected to the Academy Council and look forward to working with the Headteacher and my fellow council members. I am passionate about my son’s education and general development, so I had always wanted to join the Academy Council at some stage.

I believe Culloden is a fantastic place for our children to learn, enjoy themselves and develop as productive members of their communities, so I look forward to making my own very small contribution to school life

Giving something back to the community especially where young children are involved is very important to me. I believe if we work together we can support children and their parents or carers to overcome any barriers so that children can meet their full potential in education and all aspects of their development.

I would like to be the voice for all parents, help them engage more, work in collaboration to make them feel they are in partnership in making school a happy and a safe place for all children where they will learn, develop and grow with solid foundation to prepare themselves for the real world.

It is a pleasure to serve a second term as an Academy Councillor championing the views of yourselves to ensure the betterment of the school so the best possible education can be provided to the children.

I have lived in Tower Hamlets all my life and have previously served as a Governor in other schools within the borough so understand the needs of the parents of the community and what this role entails.

My day job is being a Finance Director for a large London based University. I am also a Director for a company that provides housing services to the north of England, and I am a consultant to the middle east.
