My name is Greg Evans and I am a co-opted Trustees/Governor which means that I have been appointed by the trustees/governors of the school.  Currently I am Vice-Chair of the Governing Body and am the named governor for data protection and cyber security. I first became a parent governor in January 2010. I transferred to a co-opted governor in November 2018 , when my youngest child left the school. My term of office expires in November 2025.

I am married to Justine and we have four children. In 2007 we took the decision to move our three younger children to King William Street from another local school because we felt there was (and still is) something very special about King William Street. Since then we have both been passionate about the school and its ethos and have done what we can to contribute. That is why I applied to become a Governor in 2010. 

I also run a local computer software company and in my spare time I enjoy long dog walks, collecting music, DJing, photography and I try to stay fit.

I have worked at King William Street CE Primary School for 11 years and beforehand King William Pre-school.  I am totally committed to the school and its ethos which inspired me to change my career into education.  My journey with the school began working as an MDSA to Teaching Assistant and now EYFS teacher. Both my children attended the school and still talk fondly of the time they attended .  I am very proud that they still display the core values installed throughout  the school, allowing me to see both the parent and teaching perspective. I wish to continue to support the core values and  the local community spirit which I live within through the improvement and hard work of all the school staff, parents and wider community.

I have worked within the education sector for almost twenty years. The bulk of my work history was spent in a specialist residential College for people on the Autistic Spectrum, working with 16-21 years olds on a day to day basis supporting students with their education, independence and social needs.

My son started at King William in 2021 and I felt that I could use my experience in education to uphold the core values and vision of the school by becoming a Governor. In the past year I have learnt so much about the school at a strategic level and have attended lots of training to build on the skills needed to be a successful ‘critical friend’ to the school. 

I feel very privileged to be able to make a difference for the children at the school.

Prior to my retirement and subsequent relocation to Swindon in 2022, I served as a Foundation Governor at 2 church schools in Bolton (Manchester Diocese) for some 20 years, including extended periods as Chair.

Though I’ve never been a governor before, I hope my ability to think creatively will be of use and look forward to seeing how my skills can benefit the school.
