Interview with Keith Quince, Chair of Governors

On Friday 15th May, we had the pleasure of interviewing Keith Quince. Mr Quince is the current Chair of Governors, but is stepping down at the end of June. We asked him a few questions:

• How long have you been a School Governor? 11 years, and I’ve enjoyed every single one.

• What made you apply to be a School Governor in the first place? I didn’t actually, I was put forward for it by a friend which led me to think that it was a good idea.

• What has been your best memory? Not so much a best memory, but my association with
the school is something that I will always be proud of. Appointing Kieran Osborne also, a decision that I still feel was spot on.

• What has been your most difficult moment? Having to deal with unfair treatment appeals; it was a sensitive matter that could have been difficult to deal with. Aside from that, there has been no real challenging moment.

• If you had to give your successor one piece of advice, what would it be? To take advice and talk to the people around you. I’ve found their input invaluable.

• Would you do it all again? Yes, without a doubt. It’s been a pleasure and an experience that I would recommend to anyone.

• What are you going to do next? Spend more time with my family.

On behalf of all the students at Hayes School we are extremely grateful for the dedication and support that Mr Quince has shown us and wish him well in the future. James Busby, Head Boy & Sarah Perryman, Head Girl

On behalf of all the students and teachers at Hayes School I would like to thank James and Sarah for performing so admirably in their roles this year. I would like to wish them well in their exams and as they move onto University.

Miss Moss, Assistant Head
