Ed Powell - Chair of Governor's Welcome
We are very proud of Brownhill where we aim for your child to believe and achieve, to be happy and successful during their time here. I’m passionate about seeing children achieve their potential, enabling them to be successful.
Working co-operatively together as young people, parents, carers, staff and governors we want all children to be aspirational, resilient and confident learners, who are also caring and responsible citizens. We work together as a team, applying co-operative values and principles to all that we do.
