Mark Bateman, Chair of Governors
Mr Mark Bateman, Chair of Governors
I am very pleased to be here for a second period as a Governor at Oak Green School and now as Chair of the Governing Body.
As a past pupil of the school in the days of the then Headteacher, Mr Arthur, I can say with complete certainty that this school holds much affection for the hundreds of past pupils who have attended over the years.
I am a former Primary School Headteacher myself, having started my teaching career in nearby Ashmead (quite a long time ago). Since then I have been working in a voluntary capacity with local charities and organisations within the local community.
I am here to support the school and its staff in providing the best possible learning experience for every child within the school. The staff team are clearly dedicated towards this end and the children seem to like being here as well.
Happy children, working hard to achieve the very best for themselves is a great thing to see.
