Governors

Matt Jones
Chair / Well Being & CPD Governor

Matt Jones

My name is Matt and I am the Chair of Governors at Kingsway. I have been a school governor since 2014 because I am passionate about education and want to invest in our future generation. Being a governor is both challenging and rewarding, but I really enjoy putting my skills and a little time to good use by ensuring our children get the best education possible. If you have any questions about the work of our governing committee or would simply like to talk, please feel free to contact me: kingsway.chair@wpat.uk

My name is Ami and I am currently studying for a Doctorate in Educational Psychology. Prior to starting this in September 2023, I worked for a Local Authority managing a team of Specialist Teachers and Advisors. My area of specialism was autism and associated behaviours. I am passionate about making sure all children have access to an inclusive school environment where they can flourish and achieve their full potential. Kingsway is a special place and has been on an incredible journey of improvement in recent years. I am proud to be part of the school and hope to give something back in my role as Governor.
