Aaron Bird

Safeguarding Governor

I joined the governing body in September 2019 wanting to learn more about the role of school governance as well as wanting to give something back to the local community.  Throughout almost all of my teaching career, I have taught within the NG8 postcode starting at the former Highwood Player Juniors – your friendly rivals from across the field! 

I am currently the Deputy Headteacher at Robert Shaw Primary, which is also a Transform Trust school.  After only a year as a governor, I am already incredibly proud of the tireless work the whole team does for the children and families, and I look forward to being part of the team and the journey.
