Ben Wright-Jones

To me, being a Governor means helping and supporting the school and staff to deliver the very best to our current and future pupils, whilst also bringing a parent perspective. I have lived in the area for 12 years and have two children at Westfield Primary School, and they have been extremely happy since joining the school from nursery age.  As a business technology professional, I understand both the importance, and risks, technology plays in our life, being one of the channels through which children engage and learn both inside and outside of school. As a Co-opted Governor, I feel honoured to be able to help make a difference for all the children at Westfield, ensuring they become successful, independent, and resilient young adults.

Samantha Davidson

I have recently been appointed parent governor at Westfield and I am excited to be part of the schools journey.  With 18 years of experience within the primary sector, and 9 of those years as a Deputy Headteacher, I am hoping to use my knowledge to support and challenge the school with its strategic aims and ambitions.  I am on the board of governors at another primary school and have held my position since 2016.  My daughters attend Westfield in KS2 and EYFS. They love school and are very excited that mommy is joining the school governing team.
