Authority
Anne Hathaway | |
My name is Anne and I am Deputy Head, SENCO and safeguarding lead at a primary school in Dagenham. I have a grown up son and 2 stepchildren and live in Collier Row. As a former pupil at Crownfield Infant school with fond memories of school, it was easy to choose which school my 4 year old son went to when I moved back to Collier Row. I initially joined the governing body as a parent governor, and when my term of office ended I was fortunate to be offered another position on the governing body. I have now been a governor for over 17 years and I am proud to still be involved with such a fantastic school that has the school community at the heart of everything it does. When I am not at work, I like to spend my free time paddle boarding, fishing or reading. I have a passion for supporting pupils with additional needs and enjoying researching new strategies and theories that I can use to support pupils. |

Parent
Raksha Patel | |
Being a parent myself and wanting the best for my child, as do all parents, I decided it was the perfect time to be a parent governor. This would allow me to actively participate in decision-making and ensure that not only my child but every child has the support they require from the school. I will be working with the other governors to ensure we have the best and aim to create a healthy environment at school.
A little about me:
I'm a working mother of a lovely boy. I have a background in finance, where I pursued a career but I stepped away after having my son to focus on him. I also run a small photography business too.

Shahina Haque | |
My name is Shahina and I am a mother to two boys. One of them attends Crownfield Infants, in reception, so I am new to school life. It has been very interesting so far, around lots of learning for me, and supporting him with making that transition from part time nursery to full time school. It has also been great meeting other parents and building a network. I work full time at Saint Francis Hospice, which is close by, I enjoy my role there and the team I work with. My son is enjoying being at school and talks about the many things he is learning but most importantly all his friends at school. As a parent this reassures me greatly, and to know that he is happy is wonderful to see. There are a few reasons for putting myself forward for the parent governor role. Mainly wanting to support the school and be the parents voice in the children education and development. I hope that I can add different views and experiences to the board’s discussions and influence positive changes in the children learning. Having my son attend the school, the knowledge and an insight on the school helps. I am also a safeguard lead at my place of work, and this was an area school was looking for, so if I can be of support, I would be bringing this in. Looking forward to starting and meeting the other governors, and listening to your views and ideas that could support with discussion and decisions. |
