Andy Hadley

Advocate – Support and Challenge

Appointed 9th February 2021

I have been working with William MacGregor as a governor, chair of governor and now Advocate for Support and Challenge since February 2017. I have two children at William MacGregor; Rosie (Year 6) and Theo (Ladybirds). 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.

Karen Tromans

Advocate – Safeguarding

Appointed 9th January 2022

I am a Mum of two children and have been a parent at William MacGregor since 2012. My daughter is in now year 9 at high school and my son is currently still at William MacGregor, in year 5. I am the Safeguarding Advocate.

I was Chairperson of the Friends of William MacGregor for three years, after which I decided to take on a new challenge as a Parent Governor in February 2018. I am still very much involved with the PTFA as a Committee Member and wholly support them in their challenging role to fundraise for our school.

I have recently been a Counsellor for Childline, which was a challenging but hugely rewarding job. I am now working as a family support worker.

I am using the skills and knowledge I’ve gained from these roles to provide support and challenge to ensure Safeguarding is robust and making a difference to our children.
