Sultan Fazel - Parent Governor I am currently in a temporary accommodation in Imperial Hotel under the Afghan Citizen Resettlement Scheme (ACRS). I am married and have four children - three of whom are currently studying in Argyle School. I and my family recently came from Afghanistan and settled down in the UK. I have a bachelors degree in business administration and a master degree in human resource management (HRM) from Westminster University. I have extensive work experience in charity and private sector. I started my employment career in 1995. The reason I may be eligible and qualified for this election is because there are currently a large number of Afghan children studying in Argyle School. I thought it may be useful to elect myself as a governor to better represent the Afghan community as well as other residents of the Argyle community. |

Kareen Baker - Staff Governor After working in several primary schools as a Teaching Assistant Kareen joined Argyle in 2010 as a Receptionist and Welfare Officer. Since taking up this post she has developed an interest in children's well-being and has had the opportunity to work in different roles, and explore what it takes to ensure that every child has the best school experience. As she has worked in the classroom and is now involved in the financial running of the school she has an overall perspective of the work of colleagues and how it is important for their well-being to be considered. She feels she has an honest and realistic view to bring to the governing body and hopes to use her wider experience of school life to support decision making. |
