Meet our Board of Governors

Pallavi Shah - Co-opted Governor  (Chair)

I have been associated with Uxendon Manor as a parent since 2021, when my son joined the school in Reception. I joined the Governing Body in 2022 as an Associate Governor. Having worked in the education sector for 17 years, I have acquired broad range of transferrable skills and knowledge that can help with the Governance of the school.   

I am a 'Certified Chartered Accountant' by profession and currently work for an Academy School in London. Along with my professional qualification, I have also completed 'Certificate of School Business Management' programme that was run by National College of School Leadership. I am passionate about the importance of giving children a broad education that prepares them for life and am hopeful that in my role as a Governor I can help the school achieve this.
