Our Governors
Tim Fairbairn (Chair of Governors)
After working for more than 30 years in the City, I ran a micro goat dairy for 10 years. I am now retired and enjoy my time as a School Governor, Parish Councillor and a member of the Diocesan Board of Education. My hobbies include military history and metal detecting. My son has just started at the TGS Sixth Form.
Simon Knight (Vice Chair of Governors)
We moved to Bures from Essex with my partner and her two daughters having visited regularly when walking the dogs. I recently took early retirement from my career in secondary education.
I had the pleasure and privilege of spending sixteen years as Head of a large secondary school in Essex. I currently work part-time as an educational consultant, working with schools in Essex and Suffolk. As a Head, I was always deeply grateful for the help and support I received from my Governing Body, so offered my assistance to the Governors, which they accepted.
