Heathrow Primary School
On behalf of Heathrow Primary School’s Governing Body welcome to our website page. The Governing Body consists of various members who represent the ‘stakeholders’ of the school. These include parents, members of staff, the community, and the Local Authority. The aim of the Governing Body is to both support, and to challenge the school and to fulfil three main roles:
1. Provide strategic direction for the school.
2. Act as a critical friend to the school.
3. Ensure accountability and the optimum use of resources in order to properly meet the needs of all children and the staff that support them.
Governors meet several times each term, either as part of a full governing board meeting or as part of a smaller committee. They also visit the school to meet linked classes, attend celebration assemblies and special events and to discuss various matters linked to the school’s improvement plan. All new governors are welcomed and play a vital role in ensuring that the views of parents and the local community are heard.
MEET THE GOVERNORS
Trusha Dabba – Chair of Governors
I am the Chair of Governors at Heathrow Primary School. I have served as part of the Governing Body at the school for over 15 years, starting out as a Parent Governor and now as a Local Authority Governor. I truly believe the Governing Body hold a vital and strategic role in partnership with the Headteacher and the teaching staff at the school. Together, we aim to provide and facilitate the best possible outcomes for our children, enabling them to grow and succeed during this early and important time of their lives. All four of my children were pupils at Heathrow Primary School where I believe, they had the best start to their education and school lives. Three of my children have graduated from university and my youngest is studying at a local secondary school. Outside of my role supporting Heathrow Primary School, I am a qualified and practicing Dispensing Optician. At Heathrow Primary School we are proud to be an Ofsted rated ‘Good’ school. However, we are all working hard to achieve our goal of making our school an ‘Outstanding’ school for our children.
Satinder Kaur Haylat – Associate Member
I am a Computer Science graduate working for a global corporate as a European Risk Director with major financial services companies. I also volunteer as Headteacher of an extremely successful Sunday School with 200 students from age 5 to adults. My students continually achieve exceptional GCSE and A Level results at very young ages. I have recently been appointed as a trustee on an educational academy board based in Berkshire and have the responsibility to help effectively govern the schools that this board is responsible for. I am sincerely passionate about all children having an outstanding education during primary school, giving them all the confidence and the skills to build on their success, as they transition from Heathrow Primary to Year 7 and beyond. I am keen for all Heathrow students to participate in as many STEM activities as possible, opening their minds up to the art of the possible. I look forward to working with the team at Heathrow, our students and our parents to help every child succeed.
