I am a retired Head teacher and have a strong desire to continue to work with a school such as Gwyn Jones where all have a belief in education in the broadest sense. I believe in providing a wealth of experience and opportunity for all children within a supportive and nurturing environment while equipping them with the skills, confidence and resilience for an ever changing world."

"I live in the local area and both my children attended Gwyn Jones. I am committed to the school and to the community. I was first elected as a parent governor and have been on the governing board since 2002 and have seen the school through many changes. I am currently a community governor and chair the Finance and Resources committee as well as being link governor for Health and Safety. I run my own business as a consultant where I coach leaders in organisations. I previously worked in the not-for-profit sector where, amongst other things, I ran a charity for people with drug problems."

I have two children in the school, Francis in the Nursery and Laurence in 3M, I believe the relatively early position of both my children in the school would reflect my investment in the role. I am passionate about the school and local community, having attended Gwyn Jones as a child and Leytonstone school as a teenager. My Professional role in education will make me invaluable in supporting the School in its continued journey of inclusion and excellence. I currently work as a Deputy Head in a Secondary School in Tower Hamlets and have been teaching for fifteen years.
Lisa Greenwood, Parent Governor. Term 04.12.2020-03.12.2024. Elected by parents. CCFC committee. Pecuniary interests none

The governors at Gwyn Jones work with the headteacher, Mrs Boutalbi, to ensure that Gwyn Jones delivers a good quality education and supportive learning environment. The headteacher is responsible for day-to-day management; the governors set the aims and policies for the school. They have three main roles:
- Setting the school’s vision, ethos and strategic direction;
- Holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils; and
- Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent
The full board of governors meets every half-term. There are also two sub-committees which are able to look at issues in more detail. The board of governors has also appointed link governors to act as the liaison between the board and specific subject/curriculum areas or aspects of the work of the school.
