Governors

Andy Hadley

Advocate – Support and Challenge

Appointed 9th February 2021

I have been a member of the governing body since February 2017. I have a daughter, Rosie (Year 2), that attends William MacGregor. I work across three Clinical Commissioning Groups that are responsible for the planning and commissioning of health care services for South Staffordshire. My role is responsible for the development, commissioning and performance of primary care. Since Rosie started school in September 2016 I have really enjoyed learning more about education and the school community. I hope my experience working in healthcare/public sector will be supportive to the governing board and be positive for the future development of the school, pupils, teachers and parents during my term as governor.

Andy holds an enhanced DBS check.
