Andy has worked in the education sector for some 40 years, 26 years as part of Cornwall Council, and 14 years directly within schools and trusts in the mid-Cornwall area at a strategic level. Andy has also previously been a parent and community governor at Newquay Junior Academy.
After gaining a broad range of skills working with many high achieving educational professionals Andy is keen to utilise this expertise (especially in the fields of finance, estates, project management and strategic leadership) to help Newquay Tretherras and the wider trust continue develop skills, knowledge and resources that will enhance the educational experience for all stakeholders.
Andy’s own children were educated at Newquay Tretherras and, in short time, his grandchildren will soon follow that same journey. There is no better reason for investing time and energy in supporting Newquay Tretherras in inspiring all children, no matter what their starting point in life, to be their very best and become remarkable and resilient members of the community.
