Governors
Nottingham Free School Local Governing Body
Nottingham Free School has a local governing body whose role is to work with school leaders to monitor progress and ensure all government educational standards are met. The Nova Education Trust's boards of Trustees and Members set the strategic direction for the schools within the trust.
The local governing body consists of currently 6 members plus 2 staff members who meet four times a year for full governing board meetings, as well as regular governor information evenings.
All governors can be contacted through the school on 0115 896 4949 or by emailing contact@nottinghamfreeschool.co.uk
Governor Profiles
I am a parent governor who joined the governing body in 2022. I have been Chair of Governors since 2023. My background is in education, where I held a number of senior leader roles, including twelve years as a secondary head teacher.
I am the link governor for outcomes, leadership and management and governor development. I work with the headteacher and wider staff to support and challenge the school to provide the best possible learning opportunities for the students. I also visit the school to see the curriculum and enrichment activities. In addition to my governor role, I am a magistrate in both the adult and family courts and also sit on an adoption panel.

Hello, my name is Sanya, one of the Co-Opted Governors. I am an NHS doctor specialising in Women’s Health and I moved to Nottingham for work. With their ethos of ‘Work Hard, Be Kind’, Nottingham Free School has been a fantastic place to help serve the local community.
As an Obstetrics and Gynaecology doctor, I am passionate about educating and empowering young people, particularly girls and young women, with the knowledge to make healthcare related decisions. That’s why I am pleased to be the link governor for Personal Development and Wellbeing, an area I feel NFS really value.
