A former teacher, project manager with understanding of budget, deadlines and deliverables.An analytical, insightful, and highly-disciplined problem solver with appetite for new challenges. Presently a General Data Protection Regulation subject matter expert. I have been a pastor for over twenty years.

I am confident of bringing my professional and ministerial experience and skill to complement the Board to see Holy Trinity School turn around her present position for the better.

Being a school governor will enable me to invest in the learning and development of Children and young people and a way of getting involved in the community.
 

My background is in Montessori education. I have worked in Montessori nurseries and schools, independent primary schools and state primary schools for the past 21 years in a variety of roles. This has included spending several years as an Early Years Foundation Stage teacher in a local school.

I currently work as a 'Wellbeing Manager' in a Primary School where I am part of the safeguarding team and a trained 'Designated Safeguarding Lead'. I work closely with the Senior Leadership Team to support all the pupils and the families of this school. My role means that I have links with Early Help, Social Services, School Liaison Officers, Community Paediatrics and Young Carers (to name a few) on a regular basis. I work closely with the Special Educational Needs Coordinator and run Lego Therapy sessions and Outdoor Learning interventions to support children. I am in the process of completing a Counselling course to become a Counsellor for children of Primary School age.

I care passionately about children's education, attainment and their whole school experience. I believe that every child has the right to a good education. I want all children to be able to achieve and be successful so that they can become the best that they can be.   

My name is Angela Hallam and I am thrilled to have been elected as one of the newest Governors for Holy Trinity CoE Primary School who share my values in diversity, inclusivity, respect and honesty.

As a governor, I am committed to ensuring that all pupils have access to the best possible education that the school can provide and for ensuring a safe and supportive environment for the children to learn and thrive. Having lived in Gravesend all my life, I relish the opportunity to making a difference to the education of children in a local school.

I come from an IT background and worked for 25 years for a very large Multinational Investment Management company, supporting colleagues across the Globe. I now work part time for Ellenor as a Ward Clerk and I volunteer in their HR Department. I also have the role as Treasurer of the PTA for the school my daughter attends.
