Current Governors (in alphabetical order) |

Ms Maureen Black Vice Chair of Governors; SEND Governor; Safeguarding Governor |
Ms Elaine Brown Governor |
Ms Elaine Brown is a deputy head who is employed at the London Academy of Excellence Tottenham (LAET). LAET is a post-16 provision which is a very popular destination for Gladesmore students. She is therefore particularly well-placed to aid transition and support post-16 curriculum continuity. She has an impressive understanding of education and safeguarding and is able to make strong all-round contributions to school improvement. The governing body particularly benefits from her insight and knowledge of the curriculum. We are fortunate that Ms Brown has been co-opted onto the governing body as she can bring her educational expertise, her working knowledge of young people and her strong understanding of our local community to our scrutiny of the school. |
