WELCOME TO KINGSTHORNE<\/h2>

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF GOVERNORS<\/h4>[vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Hello and welcome to Kingsthorne!<\/p>\n

A new era has started at Kingsthorne. We have welcomed a new Head Teacher and a new Chair of Governors is in place.<\/p>\n

My name is Jan Tew. I have been a Governor at Kingsthorne for 8 years and I am now proud to take the Chair. I was born and educated in the Kingstanding\/Great Barr area and I still feel a great affinity with this district of Birmingham. I spent my career working in the insurance business and have for the last 19 years been a Magistrate, firstly in Sutton Coldfield until the court building closed and now sit on the Bench in Birmingham.<\/p>\n

As Governors, our priorities are to ensure a safe and comfortable place for the children to grow and learn together and to maintain the financial stability of the school.<\/p>\n

I want the years that the children spend at Kingsthorne to be as fulfilling as we can possibly make it and to set them on the path to greater things. My wish is that they leave us as confident motivated young people with high aspirations for their future. I am sure as I have seen many examples of this already that we can continue to count on the support of parents and families.<\/p>\n

Thank you<\/p>\n

Mrs Jan Tew (Chair of Governors)<\/p>\n
