Parent Governor Candidates
Parent governor elections have now closed. The appointed Parent Governor at Hatcham Temple Grove Free School is as follows:
Stephen O’Grady
I am relatively new to the school community, as a parent to Sammy (Reception, Zinnie class) and have a second child on the way (who we hope will join the school in 2026). But I am already enthusiastic about supporting the school’s continued success. I am a lawyer specialising in restructuring: advising businesses and their boards in their most critical of financial circumstances. I would bring this governance experience to the role of parent governor. I grew up in Australia and volunteered for many years with the Red Cross Night Café (a drop-in centre for disadvantaged young people), and several community legal organisations (including the Homeless Persons' Legal Clinic). I am keen to become actively involved in the school community in a way which I can add real value, to help the school continue to strive for excellence, whilst focusing on its students' richly diverse needs.
