Dean Harrison

I have been the Chair of Cawston Grange Primary School since 2022 and first became a trustee in 2018. During this time, I have undertaken a number of different roles including chairing the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee. I now have two children who enjoy attending the school. My professional background is in Governance, Risk and Compliance so I understand the value effective governance (and support) can bring to organisations. I am responsible for ensuring that the Board of Trustees are appropriately trained and have the necessary skills and expertise in order to carry out our duties.

Martin Guerrieria

After moving to the area in 2016 I now have two children at the school, and both are clearly benefiting from the wealth of learning and personal development available.  Cawston is a fantastic community and I’ve been inspired to get involved and support the governance of a school clearly central to the identity of the neighbourhood. I bring a questioning scientific background as part of my own education, and currently work in the market research industry, helping clients establish successful brands and improve their communications; skills that I hope will benefit the school and governance structure.

Tom Reed

My wife and I live locally and we have two children in years 1 and 3.  I’d like to think that means I have a good sense of school life and what matters to parents/carers and our community.  In my professional life, I’m a civil servant that helps Further Education Colleges improve their education outcomes and finances.  As a parent elected trustee I will always be interested to speak with and represent parents. I can be contacted via reed.t@welearn365.com

Gwion Russell

I have over 8 years experience of teaching in KS1 and KS2. After graduating I soon became a leader of KS1 in Northamptonshire and quickly learnt to maximise children's attainment and progress and help them reach their potential. I became a Trustee for Cawston Grange as I want to give back to the community and help shape the lives of young individuals in my local area. In the past year I have firmly discovered how passionate I am about teaching and learning and believe good quality Education is the stepping stone to success.

Dean Richards

I’ve lived locally in Cawston since 2019 and became a Parish Councillor here in 2022. I was also a Trustee previously at Age UK Coventry & Warwickshire. I'm passionate about local community engagement and believe places that are active and engaged on a local level thrive compared with those that aren't. People really make the difference. 

Professionally I come from an economics and finance background having worked in senior management positions in some of the UKs biggest companies, before setting up my own business. I am a qualified Chartered Accountant and have a Masters in Economics. I believe a good education is probably the greatest device to any young person in opening up life's opportunities."

Jackie Brook

Professionally I have largely worked in Special Education but have held Headships in both Special and Mainstream Primary Schools. I have also had secondments to Coventry LEA as a Teacher Advisor for Assessment, Education Officer for Special Educational Needs and supported another Primary School which was experiencing difficulties.

I am now retired but for three years I worked part time as a Tutor in Early Years at Warwick University.

Having this Educational background and helping in Early Years over the last 12 months I have been very impressed with the positive Ethos in the school and the skill and expertise of the staff which is why I would like to do more to assist as a Trustee.
