Trustees

Pauline started as a Teaching Assistant at the school not long after it first opened. At that time there were less than thirty students and half the school was unusable. Pauline developed along with the school and is very proud to have played a part in improving the lives and opportunities of so many young people.

Now retired, Pauline is able to spend more time with her own children and grandchildren and has welcomed the opportunity to become involved with the school once more as a Trustee.

Our Chair of Trustees can be contacted via school reception and at the school’s address – please see contact us section

Robin worked in Asset Management in the City for over 25 years. He then trained as a teacher and taught Mathematics at Tonbridge Grammar School for more than 10 years. He continues to teach part time.

Given this background, and the fact that his son was a student at West Heath, he was delighted to be asked to join the Board of Trustees in July 2022 and sits on the Finance Committee.

He lives locally with his wife and several grandchildren live close by.

Marguerite was very pleased to join the Board of Trustees in 2021 and to share her experience gained from seventeen years as Headteacher of two primary schools in Kent and as Headteacher Adviser. 

Marguerite joined the Citizenship Foundation/Young Citizens in 2005 to create and manage ‘Go-Givers’, their flagship resource for primary schools. She originated the Go-Givers ‘Make a Difference Challenge’, which supports children throughout the UK in implementing projects for the benefit of their communities.

Marguerite developed a set of learning materials entitled ‘Get on with the Game’ for the Premier League. She has also written two books published by A & C Black.

She developed the Quality Mark for Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Education (SMSC) which has been implemented in primary and secondary schools throughout the UK since 2017.

In 2018 Marguerite was invited by the British Council to develop a curriculum for the Education Department in Lebanon.

Since retirement Marguerite has indulged in creating fused glass art.

Marina joined the Board of Trustees in December 2018.

Marina sits on the Student Services Committee and is also the named Safeguarding Trustee.

Marina is a member of the West Heath Old Girls Association having previously attended West Heath School, at which time it was a private all-Girls school. Marina feels enormously privileged to be part of West Heath School in its current format, helping to drive the future of this exceptional school. 

Marina works in the City and lives locally with her husband and two children. In her spare time she enjoys pottering around the garden with the invaluable assistance from her children and the dog. 

I am married with two sons, one of whom has attended West Heath School since 2015 and is now supported by West Heath at North Kent College.

I chair the West Heath's Parent/Carer Group which meets monthly onsite, although participants can also join meetings via Teams.

For several years, I have been the parent representative for the Student Services Committee and the Online Safety Committee.

In September 2022, I joined the Trustees of West Heath as a trustee for Teaching and Learning.

I feel privileged to be part of the West Heath School community and enjoy meeting Parents, Staff and Trustees throughout the year.

I am the Headmistress at Solefield School in Sevenoaks, a boys' only prep school for ages 4-13. I remain a teaching Headmistress and have been at the school since 2009 as Head of Languages, More Able Lead, Academic Deputy, Deputy and Deputy DSL. My subjects are French, Spanish, Italian and Latin. I have held the roles of Housemistress, Head of Year, Head of Department and Games' Coach in various independent senior and prep schools such as Epsom College and Kingston Grammar School. I was a PGCE tutor (senior and primary) at the University of Buckingham for many years and have worked as an examiner for GCSE for OCR. I also have years of experience as a governor and chair of committees.
