Co-opted Governor

Chair of the Governing Board
Why did you become a Governor?

My children and I have been using the services at Fawood for 7 years. now, I was always involved as much as I could as a parent but when I found out about the Partnership and was asked if I wanted to be a governor I thought this was an excellent way to give back to something that has been a huge part of my family’s life.

What do you do when you’re not a Governor?

I am a music producer/ Sound engineer/ DJ who now owns an indie record label based in Wembley.

Andrea Gray

Gov_AG200x300

Co-opted Governor

Vice Chair of the Governing Board
Why did you become a Governor?
I welcomed the opportunity to be part of the Curzon/Fawood team, as being a governor was a new role for me and an opportunity to learn about the work of the partnership in more detail. I have always enjoyed working with young children and their families and believe that when parents offer children the opportunities to thrive, the benefits are sustained throughout life.
What do you do when you’re not a Governor?

I enjoy being with my family and spending time with friends, I also like making things and being out of doors. I have recently retired after working in Brent for 33 years. I taught in three Brent schools before becoming an Early Years Advisory Teacher mostly working with private, voluntary and independent nurseries and children’s centres. I love all things ‘Early Years’

Terry Pascal

Gov_TP

Co-opted Governor

Why did you become a Governor?

Employed as a project manager for the Stonebridge Housing Trust in 2000, I was responsible for the regeneration of the Stonebridge estate including the relocation of the Evan Davies Nursery centre which was replaced with the Fawood centre in 2004.

I became a community governor for the Evan Davies centre primarily to communicate with the staff about the redevelopment of the estate. Having become a governor I wanted to play a full and active role in making the centre a success. I viewed my role as an opportunity to put something practical back into the community and I still hold that view today.

I want the Fawood centre to be the beacon of the Stonebridge redevelopment and inspire the children to learn, develop and meet their full potential.

Staff Governor

Why did you become a Governor?

I have been a member of staff at Curzon Crescent Nursery School since 2016. I work in the NEG2 unit with the 2 -3 year olds. I became a staff governor because I wanted to contribute to the Governing Board Meetings. I have over 25 years of experience working within different Local Government Children’s Centres with this age group and making a positive difference to the life chances of children. I also have hands on experience of working here and would like to gain a deeper insight and knowledge into Curzon Crescent and the Partnership, by providing support and challenge to the management team with the ultimate aim of working to keep a positive impact on education and positively influence the children’s lives. I am a good communicator who will represent the views of the staff on the Governing Board.

What do you do when you’re not a Governor?

I spend my time as a part time DJ and radio presenter having a great love of music plus I am a keen photographer. Currently I support rallies that highlight the need to deter knife and gun crime around the capital by going on marches and volunteering to help our future teenagers.
