Meet Alex

Alex joined the local governing body at Sir John Talbot’s School as a Community Governor, shortly after it joined the Marches Academy Trust, chairing it for several years before being invited to become a Trustee.  He has been actively involved in the school throughout the time his three children have attended, running after-school clubs for computing, robotics and hockey.
