Andrew Mederick

Governor

‘I became a Governor as I have been interested in education for 20 years and because I want to give something back to the community. I believe in adult education for three reasons: 

1. It is hard to make life changing decisions when you are young or have a family or even do not know what you want to do as a career 
2. From attending adult education as a mature leaner, I am now Director of Youth Services in the same community where I studied 
3. Education is a great social- economic leveller 

I have a range of skills and experiences that I bring to my role as a Governor including: Commitment to improving education for all students; Links with local businesses; Ability to propose and consider innovative solutions/recognise and develop opportunities; Project management; Knowledge of local/regional economy; Experience of working in/developing collaborative partnerships; and working or volunteering with young people.’
