Duane Williams
Chair of Governors

Pastoral/Behaviour/Personal Development/Wellbeing

I’m an ex-Colton Hills student, proudly representing the school as the Chair of Governors, having been a part of the governing board for over 15 years. Away from my duties at school I work as a Regional Sales Manager at BT and run a local boy’s football team. I’m very passionate about helping young people in my community and seeing this school go from strength to strength.

I have been a member of the Governing body at CHCS for approximately 15 years. My professional background is in Management and Leadership. I completed my MBA at Wolverhampton University in 2011. I have a particular interest in supporting children and families, having worked for several local authorities, NHS and the independent sector.

I am interested in supporting people in the local community and in championing causes. I also aim to engage in activities that support people to improve their lives and making positive decisions about their future.

I have worked for the National Trust for most of my career, nearly 20 years now. I am passionate about heritage and the natural environment and want to bring people closer to it to enjoy it as much as I do. In recent years I have been working on how we get younger people involved in heritage and nature as I think it also has benefits for their wellbeing.

I am a Speech and Language Therapist and have worked in the NHS for over 20 years. I support children who have speech, language and communication needs and understand how these needs can impact learning, social interaction and well-being. I have experience of collaborating with educators to develop strategies that empower students to achieve and address barriers to learning. I enjoy working with parents and carers, supporting them to advocate for their child in school and ensuring their voice is heard, something I am passionate about bringing to the role of parent Governor.
