Meet our Colton Hills Governors

Cheetham Patel

I have worked at Colton Hills Community School for over 16 years, in a variety of roles within the Science Department. I am currently employed as a Science teacher and deliver the curriculum to Key stage 3 and 4 students. I have been part of the Governing body for 4 years.

Stephanie Sherwood

LA Governor

Born in Wolverhampton, I was educated here before studying at Reading University. I have worked in secondary schools in the City as well as another local borough where I held senior responsibilities. I believe effective partnerships between the school, students and their families can foster learning which is the key to unlocking potential.

Joanna Williams
Parent Governor

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.
