Meet our Members

We have three members here at Redhill Primary School who fulfil a valuable role of holding the trust board to account for the effective governance of the trust. There are also some critical decisions that sit with the members and they are essential to the integrity of an academy trust governance structure. 

David Frankish

Trust Member & Chair of Governors

I am the Chair of the Covent Garden Market Authority, Chair of the CBI's Employment and Skills Board and Founder and CEO of Clovis Enterprise Ltd. I am also a fellow of the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants and a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport. As a passionate believer in the importance of early years education, and having served on the governing body since 1998, I am very pleased with the progress the school has made to its current "outstanding" status awarded by Ofsted. This is an accolade I know is well merited as both my daughters benefited from receiving their primary education at Redhill

Nigel Perkins

Trust Member

For many years I was a Governor at Redhill, and before that a member of the PTFA and I am now a Member of the Redhill Academy Trust. The three Members focus on Governing Body appointments, school results and the effective use of public funds.  We receive and adopt the Governing Body’s Annual Report and appoint the school’s auditors.  In common with some other governors, my two daughters attended Redhill back in the day – and both benefited from the excellent education provided.  It is a privilege to be able to assist in any way that can maintain and enhance these standards. 

Glenys Crooks

Trust Member

Whilst I was a previous pupil of Ockbrook Village School, as well as a past parent and Chair of Governors of Redhill School, I am now a proactive grandparent of a current pupil and enormously proud to be a Member of Redhill Academy Trust. Although retired, my previous clinical and managerial roles within the NHS have given me a wide range of skills, knowledge and experience in leadership, finance, business improvement, H R and Governance. It is an honour to support this excellent Academy, the dedicated staff, and enthusiastic Governors in meeting its objectives to provide first class education, a love of learning and preparation for life in modern Britain.
